Wow, 32.2MPG!!!
I have to admit, that 2.0 is a very impressive engine. I just started driving my S-line last week. The family and I had to travel to NJ from CT this weekend so I decided we should take the new A4. So we loaded up three kids, luggage for the weekend, and off we went in this 3700lb car. I was watching the trip computer and I was certainly impressed when it hit 32.2 average MPG at about 150 miles and stayed there in this mostly highway trip. We just got back and I got 31.8 mpg (must have been a tail wind on the way down). I am very impressed with this car and the engine. Great trip, the car handled great, and the 32mpg will certainly help with thes new $3.00 a gallon gas prices. Nice job Audi!!!

2nd that - I averaged 30.1 mpg MIXED driving in H-town last weekend...
I live in the Texas Medical Center, and had to do a bit of city and highway driving to get to the Johnson Space Center (60 miles round trip and experienced 34-37mpg at 70mpg!!!
To qualify my results, I should note that I didn't have the AC on and had all windows closed (each will cost about 5% fuel efficiency).

you really go over 450 miles without filling up ?
.... id be interested to see you do a miles drivers / gallons of gas put into the car (i know it's not 100% accurate... but if it's near 30 that's awesome)

Took a trip from Houston to Dallas back in Feb and trip computer said I had 185mi left
Considering I already traveled 270 miles to Carrollton (suburb in Dallas), the potential yield was 455.
The number may be a bit optomistic, but I've done similar with my B5 back in the day and didn't fill up until I traveled in excess of 465 miles

I can't believe it either, last night from DFW to Highland Village 38mpg (93 APR'd)
its only 15 miles but I was able to cruise thru a few lights and last night I drove it like a baby. tonight I avg'd 31.6
I think the 2.0t like warm weather also...I would avg 27-29 on colder days it seems.
