Default For the day, week, month? I spent $75 last Monday alone at the track.

At the same time, the price when I filled up today at the pump was up to $2.19/gal and that's the highest I have seen in my area to date

I expect to pay dearly when I play at the track. My worst case ever was running through 35-40 gallons of race gas at a track event at Thunderhill a couple of years ago in my old B5 S4 at over $4.75/gal. I had a lot of fun during that day and then had to scrape my jaw off of the floor back at my motel room that night when I pulled the receipts out of my pocket...

Default well...3100mi...

If I keep the speed constant and have no fun whatsoever, I get 20mpg (give or take). If I put it in S and do some exciting city driving, my mpg goes down to like 14mpg. Tip is worse (9mpg) since I like the sounds of the engine at 5-6k rpm so I don't use it much. I might just drive in D from now on =(

I pulled off 20.7 today for shopping trips. I think I was being careful after seeing the pump price.
