Default A fuel mileage post for other newbies here..My own mileage included

Ok, so I have had the car for 2 weeks now.
Need I say that I love the car. Didnt realize how much I missed my Audi until I regularly driving this one.
I made an Excel sheet for my older car to regularly calculate MPG after every fuel fillup.
So far here is my fuel mileage:
2002 Audi A6 3.0 Q..37.5 K miles, Still running on Original plugs etc.
- City: 19.46 MPG, Normal Driving (also includes 30 miles by Audi tech, I bet they were gunning it)
- Highway: 23.73 MPG , "Actual" 72.195 MPH Average, no stops (296 mile trip one way)

Hope this helps someone..

Default My wife's 2.8 consistently gets 20.5 to 21.5 mpg for mixed driving.

On the highway loaded w/4 people and luggage with the cruise at 72 mph I get 24 to 25 mpg. When it is just me on the hwy. I have seen 26 mpg. Being in upstate NY, everywhere you drive there are hills, which no doubt reduces the mileage.

80 MPH at 3000 RPM is lower than the 5 speed.
