I am getting about 35mpg. That is motorway type driving (odd squirt) and cruising around 85.

In addition, between about 30mph and 75/80 odd, it doesn't appear to be much slower than the RS4. It feels a lot slower but the speedo tells a different story....

Rob, did you experiment with water/methanol before you sold your RS4? If so, could you let me know how far you got? Thanks

Pad - I did yes and forgot to do VAG com runs before and after...doh. I can tell you that it made a noticeable difference when on. I don't for one minute think it gave loads extra power but it did help top end. I only had it on WOT but it was on at any revs providing i was WOT.

The oil temp was much slower to rise when doing spirited runs and is somehting I would recommend to anyone interested. I did have to use quite a small nozzle. #2 I think but perhaps after an remap I could have got away with a #3.
