There are so many variables in your question, but a big one is Manual or Auto... your info doesn't say.

An Auto w/ a big stall is going to get lower mpg than an M6. I got 14 mixed hwy/street w/ A6 and 3200 stall.

can we ever ditch the MPG questions in the V8 sections? Seriously? It's not cool and makes you sound like a hybrid owner!

My intent with this post was to see if I was running in line with other guys with similar mods. I know there are tons of variables, but I just wanted a vague idea. Now if I was running 9/14 while other guys with similar mods running 16/23, then I'd be having a talk with my tuner.

Ignore him... it still matters. I didn't buy this car for MPGs, but if we are getting 17-18 mpg and a cam drops me that still matters to us who aren't making 6 figures a year... if you could get 500 horses at 11 mpg or 14 mpg.. you would be foolish not to ask how.

I have an A6 and put in a stall...so that influenced my drop quite a bit. I had to ask the same questions if I wanted to sacrifice that for performance and how high I went with my stall.

Dont forget cam is really the only part that decreases mpg, headers and all the other mods increases them back up
