APR Stg3, 17-19 town, 28-29 hwy(normal driving that is), got about the same on APR Stg1/2 code
which was slightly better than stock. If I rip around town and do a bunch of pulls my mileage seems to be ~14mpg overall... pretty good all things considering @ 450-460chp imo.
My TT is the mileage champ here(225TQC) - 20 in town and 35-36 on hwy driving, its stock + exhaust currently. My '07 Pathy is doing good to break 20mpg on the hwy. Run 93 in everything for the most part, the Pathy gets 87 sometimes(wife filling it up).

Lol, agreed. If you are not a self-maintainer or lack mechanical ability these cars modded can cost
a ton to maintain through shops/dealers/mechanics.
They are complicated, thats the issue, but they are still d@mn nice cars today. I recently dropped my allocation on a S5, its much nicer and a beautiful car vs the B5 but it can't come close to a Stg3 car performance-wise. Maybe I'd kept my order if I didn't have to sacrifice the S4 for it but... going to keep the S4 a while longer I guess. It has been a real headache to upgrade from this car tbo. It does so many things well.
