    yes...if you are easy on the gas. I am "able" to get 21-22 city with the A/C on, no all-out highway treks yet but people are getting 30+mph with "normal" driving. But who the heck drives normal around here anyway?

    Re: gas saver

    Heres an interesting question...I have an 06 A4...when I fill up my tank, it says I have like 480 miles left on the tank. I drive pretty average I guess...80mph on the freeway, about 40 - 60 on the streets. I "step on it" only when I have to (maybe once a week). Well anyway, the "Miles left" thingy is soo inacurate. Starts at 480, then will jump down to 400 all of the sudden...then back up to 420....its like wtf? It continues doing this jumping around all the way to the end of the tank. I mean, I understand the newer models than have the "MPG" meter...for that to jump depending on current driving conditions, but why is my "Miles left gauge" broken?

    I've never intentionally cruised to see how high i could get it, but i just filled up and was driving back from vegas on the freeway and noticed it. i was sexited.

    And to djvice, it's just and estimate. when you're doing city driving (stop and go) it will jump down a lot vs. on the highway going at a constant speed it will go up. It's not broken.

    I get low 20s with mostly city driving and not driving either to hard or soft. Just normal driving with the occasional stomp on the pedal

    Re: gas saver

    I get about 35 mpg on the hwy if I just cruise at 80ish.... otherwise I get about 28 in the city and I drive it very light, I hyper mile sometimes just to see what I can pull off...on a tank driving soft I get about 30 mpg mixed city and hwy, I don't live far from work so theres no stuck in traffic issue for me.

    To me 5 bucks a tank is not a concern when I look at what I get for gas mileage when you compare to like a civic,accord,camery...I'd glady pay 5 bucks extra a tank for the better ride quality of my A4
