Europe is using liters for the past 20 years (even UK). In European measuring (Imperial gallon) same car does over 60 mpg.

This is why the European measured mpg ratings are so much higher over there than they are here.

Advertisement is calculated on based traffic. I can't believe that someone is really that dumb. Perhaps I am optimist and have a higher expectations of society.

Knowing when not to drop the gloves is probably more important than knowing when it is time. If the Blues remain largely intact over the off season then I'm damn glad we got them in the first round this year. Someone else on the site summed it up by saying they're young, dumb and full of..., well you know. Next year they'll be a little older, a little smarter and probably a little less spent by the time the playoffs arrive. It should be fun to watch.

It's no wonder they're hesitant to bring this stuff over here. Vanna could uncover all the vowels and consonants and we'd still never solve the puzzle.

There are so many cars from audi and vw that offer "that 2.0t", which IS better at gas mileage than the toyota's v6 because we had an avalon with the same exact engine in the rav4...it rarely got above 22mpg combined. Usually, it stayed at 18-22. Going to canada with the avalon, averaged 27mpg at 70mph. My passat is always at around 26-31mpgs combined. Driving to the same place in canada, at 70mph cruise(same as avalon), it averages 32-33mpg, that is 4mpg above the window sticker! It's easy to talk out of your ass like LS7, it's even easier to talk about it when you have actually owned the cars you are talking about! and you got that from what?? he hates audi and would come up with anything to make them seem bad(nmofgm), How can “you” assume he was talking about the 4 when he was just mentioning the q5?

My average mileage was about 50mpg (4.7liters per 100km). When I'd gun it long haul on the autobahn it would drop to about 38mpg doing over 120mph for much of that drive. None of those figures are bad. I think the horsepower was 120 or 125, but the torque was great. Getting good mileage while enjoying the drive is easy if you know what you are doing and understand your vehicle well. I wanted to import that car to the states but Audi USA refused to support the mechanicals, and VW only offered the crappy version of that motor.
