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

[Larry C Leung]

no miles to empty on the GTi. I usually only get about 400 miles to empty
with the 200Q, and that's with a full tank. Even after adjusting the trip
computer, it's still a little optimistic. my actual on the road highway
milage is all of maybe 22-23 MPG at a trip computer registered average of
66 MPH (low compared to what I think the speedo is reading most of the
time), with the level of traffic there's really no clean way to go faster
around here usually, even on the Thruway. I maintain the concept of low
impact driving. That's it. No hero car here.
