Gas mileage

Re: Gas mileage
All I can tell you is that I went on a cruise with a few of the Calgary guys and the A6 crowd was impressed with Ma' Baby's performance.
I come from the Big Detoit Steel mentality ('79 Camaro 5.7L/350CID with 4 speed... I still have that baby!) and I can tell you that this little 1.8L makes impressively good torque... Now, mind you: I have never driven a "factory" A4!
Final point: she is mighty quick, and mighty strong, but I have no numbers... I have plans to do some work on her soon and then I'll take her to the dyno!

Re: Gas mileage
The guy who sold it to me almost 2 years ago said that it makes 250hp... I do not think so: original exhaust, turbo, injectors and intercooler, but K&N filter, Forge DV, and NuSpeed plumbing.

I will also be looking in doing some upgrades in the next 2 to 3 years, budget permitting of course, but I'm weighing my options between chip and a new turbo. But I also will do an Intercooler, Force Air, and Exhaust as minimum, than I'll assess the Chip and/or Turbo.
thanks again... It's good to see there's are still folks out there that have contrast, i.e. old school 8 banger and a new age 4.
Later.

Re: Gas mileage
I recently picked up a used 2004 audi a4 qtro 6sp manual
The gas mileage is pretty much impressive
I get 820km on highway
and 650~700 on highway + city(Downtown Toronto)
I really drive slowly, shift at 1800~2300 rpm...really slow
The car is bone stock!
I wish I know what rpm point should I shift for the gas mileage and better accerleration!

Re: Gas mileage
AUDI A4 1.8T Quattro
- 440-500 only city,
- 500-600 mixed driving,
- 600-700 highway only
Usually driving 75% city/ 25% HWY - around 450-500 on the tank.
