<< This past weekend, my gas mileage ranged from 25.6 to 27.3, a 2-3 mpg
 increase.  Any suggestions or theories as to why this healthy jump in
 mpg occured?  I won't be making the trip again until later in the
 summer, and will be unable to test until then whether this trip was an
 anomaly, or my quattro is just beginning to enjoy old age. >>


A stiff tail wind would prduce such results, as would a lightened load,
correctly inflated tires, correctly running engine, taped off body seams,
lighter foot, and devine intervention
