Cool Awesome Gas Mileage

So like everyone else on this forum I love great performance.
But I'm a college kid and need all the gas mileage I can get especially since most of my driving is the 350 mile drive from school to home and then back every month. Usually I'll get 25-26 mpg,

but this time, driving a bit under 70 the whole way, I got

31 MPG!

and whats even greater is that I've got an A4.
I would've driven 75-80 like I usually do, but after that damn ticket, no way.

just had to say something lol

it's only turning 1500 revs at 55mph. That means I've got the stupid 2.73 rear right?

Your car is becoming a "green" vehicle.
