All depends on the driver and tuning. I get 25-26 freeway, 22 mixed, 5-6 on the track. 280-300 on trips per tank.

If MPG is really important to you, I'd suggest sticking with the A4. It's a great car. The only real reason to go with an EVO is if you plan to mod it and increase power, which will most likely have a negative effect on MPG.

And I get 15 mpg.

I am trying to see how bad EVO MPG is, I know I can get 300whp and keep 30+mpg in my A4

If you go with a laggier turbo you'll get around 30+mpg
