Default Re: 8 miles....could be that your car doesn't have time to get to full operating temp...

I'm in the bay area in California. Weather is from 60-75F. The 8 miles I drive is mostly fwy. Should I warm up my car first? and if so for how long?

Default No warmup needed for that kind of drive.....sounds like you're running rich possibly....

check for faults in the ECU. Hopefully your Mass Air Flow sensor doesn't have oil on it from the K&N....but that could be the case.

Default Re: City driving I get 17-19mpg and highway I get 22-25mpg.....

How do you figure out your gas mileage? Do you do it manually or thru your computer on your car?

Default manually, but my computer is typically almost dead on...

if you don't do it manually then do, and compare it to your computer read out. If your computer read out is off then you can adjust it with the vag-com software or have the dealer do it if you're still under warranty.
