got 2.73's now, dont get that good of gas mileage as it is, does anyone have ACTUAL examples of swapping the gears and how it affected their gas milage.....or what is you guy's RPM at 65, mine is 1800 right now, what im considering is 3.73's anyone have exp/stories????

 

i went from 3.23 to 2.73. nice loss of fun, slight gain in mpg. nothing worth the loss of power though. shifting into 3rd and breaking traction with a stock A4 and new tires is something i miss

 

If you go to 3.73's with an auto you'll loose a couple mpg in the city and probably 3 or so on the highway...

 

How good/bad is it? With 2.73s, you should be getting the best highway mileage that any A4 could get. From what I have read, most people get 27mpg or more on the highway with 2.73s.

 

Man you need a tune up, I'm getting close to 28-30. Try a tune first.

 

I have a 2.73 with an A4... I get about 23mpg hwy with one bad o2 sensor.

 

honestly though? i really need to know how good of gas milage do you get with your cars, i got a 22 with mostly highway, and little city, that kinda sux for at 2.73's, what do you mean by a tune up, i have brand new bosch plat's w/accel 8k wires, all stock vaccum plumbing and a fipk wich should help, what am i doing wrong, i have tried fuel injector cleaner, no trouble codes or anything....must have good 02's, what should i check? what about the jump in gears does anyone know for sure about the decrease how bad it is?

 

gas mileage hahahalololol rofl do you want to go faster?? gas mileage lol it shouldn't be an issue i get 150 to a tank i have 4.10s and i don't even care any more cause everthing i do that should improve it makes it worse lol i need a beater to drive around dammit but you will love the results
