I thought that's why we have Quattro........

You're running quite low temp- wise. I've never seen temps that low following an extended drive; I'm normally up in the late 90's

EDIT: Or was it cooling down by then?

it's usually that low when I am cruising in the car, took photo just after pulling up had done 10 mins driving 30-40mph after 70 on motorway.

Though when I DO drive it the temp is between 96-102

Interesting you say about Temps, whats the usual oil temp you guys are seeing?? Just wondering as being new mine seems to go from anywhere between 92 and 100.

Btw is it bad that i came back from Manchester after picking mine up all the way down to the far the south east with 110miles of juice left in the tank after only filling up in Manchester

Just wait until you take it up the road tomorrow and it shows 65 within seconds !

Mine usually runs between them just that in the times i drove it then I was in nice clean air not following up close to cars and in 6th mainly so not stressing the engine

best i saw on mine was 33mpg on a trip back from birmingham,mostly used to get 26-27 on my commute of 15mls on a-b roads and 24-25 on my commute on back roads fast country lanes,best rev range for economy is 1800 to about 2500,anything under gives worse economy,switch off ac in winter that saves 3-4mpg and dont use cruise on motorways,currently getting very similar figures in my r8 (v8) at the mo,oh also use v-power that increases mpg and makes the whole driving experience smoother
