[QUOTE="TRBO VNM, post: 13134783, member: 14678"] Yeah doug, Mike is a big VAG. If he could get away shifting at 1000rpm he would. lol When he told me the mileage he was getting my first question was what rpm are you shifting at. Unfortunately with only 80 miles on the car I can't report mileage. I can say that the car only had 4 miles on it when I bought it yesterday and the trip monitor, which I think is the same thing Mike is looking at started at about 12mpg when I bought it. when I came home today it was up to 19.6 and has steadily climbed since I bought it. I know my bmw 330ci would start out high and then drop and stabilize. Seems like the focus is the opposite and increases slowly. I am trying to shift low to help increase the mileage, but at the same time I want to break in the motor and being a vag like mike is not the best thing to do for break it. So I have gotten into it a few times here and there and just tried varying the rpm range. Oh yeah, some people are reporting increased mpg after adding the larger intercooler and tune. I need to get this thing broken in so I can put it on the dyno for some base runs. [/QUOTE]
