First 600 miles...25.5 mpg. Can that be right?
 

Mixed driving...some highway, some local and showing 25.5 mpg average on computer 2. On the "non-cumulative" computer 1, I've seen as much as 28.7 mpg on the highway. This is with a tight, not yet broken in 2.0T, and the Tiptronic. I haven't yet checked this against an actual mpg count...odometer versus pump. Can these numbers be right? It seems almost too good to be true.

I would have to say that it really depends on your driving style (fast starts and stops or what not). I personally have a little more of a lead foot and have been getting about 20 mpg on each tank. So far I have about 4400 miles on the car and I never reset the 2nd trip computer and it shows and average of 21.9 mpg.

what color is your car in your sig?

Sure that's about what I got..
 

Now i'm up to 32 or so mpg on highway.

My best over 100 miles was 38.4

I get mid-high 30's on the highway (70 mph 6th gear)
 

I get better mpg than my wifes 1.8T Tip.

More power + Better milage... good stuff.

I would love to get numbers like this.....
 

What are your shifting patterns like. Assuming you are on a flat road, at what RPM's or MPH would you shift gears?

^^^^ Crazy!

I'm not redlining or anything...
 

but not granny shifting either.

Three hours of interstate driving in 6th gear (no traffic = no downshifting), it's not hard to get these numbers.

It's easy: get on a flat highway, accel up to 65, be in 6th, then reset... :-)

Yep. That's pretty much what I've been getting mixed
 

with a 2.0 tip.

That sounds about right. If you were to average in
 

ramps, tollbooths, congestion, and occasionally gunning it to pass, you might be closer to 32.

Trip Lies
 

My tripmeter shows 1.5 to 2 mpg more than actual mileage over a whole tank of gas, 400 miles.

I'll have to check again, but I believe it's the Liquid Blue Metalic

tips please...!!!
 

thats kinda "difficult-to-digest-fact". The best i got on highway(no braking,no changing gear and top gear, no climbing,no descent, constant speed of 110km/hr) was 34.5 mpg

Please give your tips like.... at what rpm you shift gears (2000rpm or 2500rpm)?
