Good Gas Milage

Un-important post, but i just got back from a little road trip. Going through the mountains, and a lot of freeway, i got 25mpg

Its the best ive got so far since i got my car, much better than the 19 ive been averaging on my work commute

I think the fact that it was raining, and there was a decent amount of traffic helped keep the boost under control

For the long haul my RS has all the comforts of home, as long the RS is in the trailer.

I'm averaging 20.86 since I've had the car (1650 miles).

I do very little highway driving, if any, and am un-tuned (read: super rich).

I've always wondered how to people drive to get into 25+ mpg...

I drive relatively fast but not aggressive and get average 20.2 mpg stock. There're some traffic to work but it's not that bad. And even on pure highway driving I got about the same -- 20.5 mpg.

Now that I have a few upgrades, it drops to 19.5 mpg. I'm quite happy anyway, was expecting a lot worst.

Are you tuned?

Factory maps are *very* rich.

The most I have ever gotten on a full tank is 260 miles. On average it's like 230 miles. Not so great.
