Default Getting great gas mileage on my car and couldn't be happier....

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/46462/63gasmileage.jpg"></center><p>*touch wood*

are most 1.8TQ Tip drivers getting something similar?

*note: I was not doing 65 MPH all the time ;-), I was averaging about 75 (+/- 15) MPH for about 400 miles just before this counter hit. normally I don't drive that fast but it was a salute to my glory days of once being single.

Default 520 is weak!!! after i fill up my reading is usually close to 600

but then again i have a bigger fuel tank and dont have the weight of the quattro or tip =)

im averaging just under 28 miles per gallon for the lifetime of my car =P

then again i choose to drive slow

Default estimated range and actual mileage are not the same thing.

you actually getting 500+ on a tank?

if so, you might be the first.

the max I've seen for estimated range is 550, but the max I've actually driven on a single tank is 450 under optimal conditions (all highway), using Mobile 92 octane.
