[200q20v] Re: [urq] FS: 282 BHP 3B ECUs from Europe

[James Roberts]

Yeah, I think my actual mileage was closer to 30 mpg and it was nowhere near
a scientific study.  However, there's little doubt that I get better mileage
at sustained high speeds.  With 130k miles on the car, I regularly get 25
mpg during "normal" driving (cruising at 80 mph w/ peaks at 100-120mph). Any
of our European friends had a chance to check this, where these types of
speeds won't put you behind bars?

umm, that is rather hard to believe, I did a hard run to Crater Lake and got
12 mpg, oh ! I did have a window down, that must be the cause, air drag with
the window down, and of course it was all uphill, though the drive back we
did get 26 mpg on the downgrade. the only time my Audi is getting 50 mpg?
tow truck. maybe your fuel tank is collapsing, Bill

  I did a run from Wyoming to Colorado w/ sustained speeds above 130 mph,
and
  I was very surprised to find my mileage close to 50 mpg when I went to
  refuel.  '91 200 20V.
