so, i just got back from NC. 600 mile round trip. averaged 30.9 mpg

and that's not the fuzzy onboard computer math, that's old school manual calculation. i was impressed.

rolling hills. 70-80 mph speed. cruise on. A/C on. and some fun passing etc.

yep...very realistic numbers>>>

when i run south with the TT, i am usually in that range as well, averaging close to 80...The rolling hills of New England keep me in the 28mpg range on the highway.....

One of the biggest pro's of having a turbo 4 cyl.......gas mileage!

I have gotten a lot of folks lately asking "how does that do on gas?" question.....they are shocked when the hear the numbers....
