Default 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.

Default 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?

Default 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... :-)
