First off sorry about the writing. I'm a highly intelligent stock broker, I'm just typing this very fast.

Well heres the story of how to get 27.8 MPG. My car has been bad. Things started breaking. Fixed them and ever since then every month something would break. Well I gave up.

-Right now my driver side engine fan doesn't work (My fix for now remove the rubber seal piece between the hood and the firewall replace with the small rubber from Steve(thanks Steve) and remove the the engine tray underneath the car. Cuz the car was getting hot 106C) Doesnt get hot anymore.
- Pre-cat o2 sensor has interment issues resistance to high (pulled off VAG)
- Drive side window is broke either motor or lifter
-prob have a boost leak somewhere (I have the tester just haven't got around to it)


Well I was like forget you Audi and the idiots who made the engine bay a oven (what a crappy design) I turned REVO to Stock mode (i have SPS3) and started running 85 octane gas.

I don't drive fast cuz the car isn't that fast now. (But I'm always off the line first no g-pa driving over here)

Every since then I get about 26-28 MPG. No idea why. Even when I drove good on Boost 7 Timing 2 with 91 OCT i could not get over 24.5 MPG.

Ne thoughts? Is my O2 sensor playing games making my car think its getting better gas then it really is?

I just bought cash a 94 4 runner 183k runs perfect mint condtion all the window motors work and I'm almost to the point with my Audi to say goodbye. I know it would take under $1k to make it perfect again. But I think I would rather make a wheeler and buy a 2003-2005 M3 then deal with Audi's flawed designed.

Once more, this time in english please.

 

step 4. drive for awhile, empty most of the tank
step 5. note the average MPG on your trip computer
step 6. fill up tank, note # of gallons you put in
step 7. divide current number from trip odometer by number from step 6

if this number is reasonably different than your trip computer's average MPG computation, then your car might be "playing games" with your gas mileage. without that, there's no good way to know.

 

Ne one else getting these results? Does the car love crappy gas and saving me .20+ cents a gallon

 

Daily driver, with a mostly suburban 24 mile drive to and from work. It really varies mostly not with my driving style, but with the nature of the traffic I drive through.

Lots of waiting in lines= 24~25mpg.
Clear roads and expressways= 26+ mpg

Who knows \_Q_/

 

The car was designed to use 91. Use it.

You're getting better gas mileage that I do, my average is like 21.9mpg.

 

and any car will get better gas mileage with premium as well.....

 

Didn't know it was a problem at first, tech told me that wasnt normal and I was getting really good gas mileage. Turns out it was a warped head!!! eek.

 

Read the inside of the gas tank cover... preminum fuels only, 91, 93...fix the o2 they are cheap

 

I average 26.8 on my daily commute (10mi city and 45mi hwy - 1way to work.)
