B5 S4 mileage

[Grant]

While its now gone, for 5 1/2 years I got a blended 20-22 mpg, mostly 
back roads and around town.  Highways averaged ~25-28 (e.g.: from NJ to 
Vermont, all inclusive).

2000 b5S4, no mods.

The A62.7t is a different animal. Heavier, softer, slower, but 
substantially larger and "nicer".

Neither is better, just different.
