Default MPGs

Hey guys just wondering what everyone was getting for mileage I was getting 24mpgs with the speedtuning chip and a broken n75 with alot of vacuum leak.

I got the APR chip and replaced the n75 with a used one and fixed all the vac leaks and im get about 34 mpgs.

Wondering if this is normal?

Oh and I do still drive like an animal :P

I average 26 so I don't think that's too bad with the vacuum leaks etc.

No. It's not. Are you sure you're running stoich? I'd check your 02 sensor readings just to be sure you're not leaning out under boost.

On a trip to MD from CT, I averaged 30 MPGs with 2 additional passengers and a trunkload of crap. I'm chipped with a full Borla catback. In general, these speed items won't affect highway gas mileage. Most of us get 22-24 combined, but can get about 30 on the highway.

Funny that this is one seeming advantage of the 30v over the 1.8T (although most 1.8T owners here are chipped and drive like their ***** are on fire lol). I pull just over 20 in town and between 30-32 on the highway at a 70-75mph cruise.
