[A4] FWD: Re: Need for Premium Gas in 1.8T quattro?

[Nicholas Stock]

Driving with family to LAX, 3 passengers, A/C on, 80 mph...average
29.8 MPG according to the trip computer....the direct gas injection
really helps out (so does 6th gear!)..even when I gun it around town
(2.0T) I still get around 24-25 average MPG...a lot better than my old
chipped 1.8T....
