[200q20v] gas prices

[Chris Covington]

I disagree about how great the 200q20v is on gas mileage - or even the
other N/A 20v in the coupes/90.  My '93 6 speed Trans Am with a 5.7 liter
275hp V8 (stock) got better gas mileage than either Audi I've owned (CQ,
200q20v).  I got 22MPG on the T/A around town and around 27MPG on the
highway.. with the CQ I got a little less mileage (despite the fact
that it was lighter, had 110hp less power and 3.4 liters less
displacement) and on the Stage 3 200q20v I only get 20MPG or so around
town and 23MPG on the highway.  Even if an engine's small, if it has a
lot of power it will use a lot of gas... especially if the car is heavy.
