    People say thay you can get decent gas mileage if you treat the pedal like theres an egg underneath it.

    I wouldn't know about anything like that.:D

    My 200ci doesn't have much power but it sure isn't bad on the wallet. I get about 20mpg around town, then about 24 on the highway. My girlfriend's 2.0L Jetta gets 24mpg and all she does is highway (of course that's usually 80mph all the way).

    I would add to the last question, what are you running? (HP)

    I don't even wanna know the mileage on mine. Just have to put it out of my mind every time I stop to fill it up, especially since I use the premium too. Oh well...guess ya gotta pay if you're gonna play. :)

    I do believe that would be your problem. You have to feed all those horses .
