[Ero Rademer]

For the statistics:

Audi 80 model 1993 (B4) quattro (torsen+manual lockable rear)
ABK engine (4cyl, 2.0l, 115hp), manual 5-sp transmission, A/C,
pre heater, engine rated for 95ROZ.

All numbers -- except otherwise noted -- are l/100km+MPG with
the car unloaded.

------------------------------------------------------------------

All numbers (and engine performance) were about 10% worse from
engine mileage 63000km (bought used) to 110000km (40000m-68000m).
This was the longest "run-in from PO" I'd ever had. Normally,
after not more than 10000km, my previous cars 'settled':)


Other cars ("Mixed" values):

A80 '79 1.6l, 55hp, 4cyl, 4sp manual, no PS, no AC
117000km (73000m):              91       >8.5/28        >7.8/31

And:

T44 '82 1.8l, 75hp, 4cyl, 4sp manual, no PS, no AC,
390000km (240000m):             91        7.5/32         6.5/37

T44 '87 2.0l, 115hp 5cyl, 5sp manual, PS, no AC
350000km (218000m)              98        8.0/30         7.5/32


So long for that!
