You can't complain about the gear ratio on these cars though. The last car I had was hitting 4k rpm at about 75mph. I think the turbo was meant to kick in at minimum freeway speeds on the 1.8t, which is perfect for passing slow cars I'm averaging 31.2mpg with about 70% highway. If I were to do straight freeway on a long trip, I'm positive I could get over 500mi. on a full tank.

HOW? I'm 100% stock and cant clear 350 on a tank. I mean I don't see how it would be possible.

2.8 quattro auto here.

Been getting about 275 to a tank. Mostly highway miles for my commute to work everyday, been getting about 22/24 mpg. I don't mind it at all.

I don't know, but I can't complain lol. I'm all stock except for a K&N filter. It might have a little to do with keeping my tire pressure at 40psi but I don't know. The oil I use is 5w40 which is pretty thick, so I wonder why other guys get such crappy gas mileage.

speaking of tire pressure, is it supposed to be at 40psi? i think that my tire pressure is uneven cuz the car tends to turn right a little on straight surface
