    How to get 32 MPG!!!!

    So I decided to let the S4 go, and opted for a less exciting choice....a 2013 Honda Civic Coupe. I know, I know, it sucks, but it is so nice to now not have to worry about an unexpected $5,000 repair bill. Plus, I went from 15mpg to 32mpg! Its gonna take some compromise, but I think time will prove that this was a smart move. But now I have a set of JHM piggies that I just bought, that I need to sell, so if you want them, here ya go....http://www.ebay.com/itm/Audi-S4-JHM-...d5057c&vxp=mtr

    I kid, I kid... This Honda will definitely save you money, but you'll never be satisfied without the four rings.

    The ride has never been amount miles per gallon, it's been about smiles per gallon.


    Good luck with your new car..

    2.0T GTI would have gotten you there as well with a lot more fun, but I'm happy you're happy. Was actually just in a new civic the other day and remarked about how solid it felt.

    If anyone living in/driving through KS sees a frowning grumpy man in a new Civic, make sure to rev your engine and giggle, it'll make his day better.

    A neighbor/friend of ours went from a lifted Dodge RAM Cummings Turbo Diesel, very nice truck to a Pirus . I mean who does that . I love my S4 Avant and hope to eventually also own a C5 RS6 or V10 S8 in a few years.

    My first two cars were civics. Nothing wrong with them. They were fun little cars, at least they were in the '80s with a MT. LOL

    My MPG, though... that has had a consistent decline...

    1. 40 mpg
    2. 40 mpg
    3. 35 mpg
    4. 22 mpg
    5. 18 mpg
    6. 15 mpg
    7. 12 mpg

    Wonder what my next car will be...

    A veyron....

    It takes them like 5 minutes to drain 20+ gallons of fuel at top speed And if you have that car I figure youd be a top speed a lot anyways

    I can't honestly think of anything worse (that I'd want or be able to afford).




    ... although a supercharged RS4 would probably get worse mileage...

    MY S4 now gets very close mileage to the 3.0 A4 I used to have... not that the 3.0 A4 is known for being good on gas...

    I personally do not own my car because I need to get around (I'll be living in the city soon and will not require it for transportation). I now own it just because I love it. It is costing me so much money (car payment, insurance, parking, gas) in comparison to not having it, but I cannot get rid of it.
