Two things: I got 29.4 coming in to work today. Mostly highway, cruise at 65. I think the average speed was 43.

Secondly, if your dad is still look in, we just took in a G37X with less than 20,000 miles.

Dave's Kizashi. I met up with him yesterday and exchanged his car with a rental. I took it in today to get a dent removed.

It's actually probably higher than 99 since the injectors shut off and you're burning no gas (assuming full coast/engine braking, if Audi fuel programming is anything like other car manufacturers).

Even with aftermarket injectors and fuel pump my dash is still fairly accurate; a touch low if anything.

Yea it can read 99 for instantaneous, but the avg is usually fairly accurate. It's not rocket science to figure it out. They know how much fuel is going through their injectors, the stock tire size and speed the car is moving etc.

I switched the car to FWD and was getting closer to 26 avg. I think full freeway driving the car should be able to get 30-31, so its about what they advertised, I just was doing a lot more sitting at stoplights and traffic for my commute and had a low ass average speed.

Ps. My dad is buying a new Kia optima with the premium package, he liked it better than everything else he looked at. I agreed.

Haha yea, but to say 29.4805 mpg for a 10 mile jaunt is a bit funny. Id expect that car to get over 30 on a highway tank im sure.

Well, I am right around 56,000 miles on the Kizashi, the car overall has been great and I love it for DD mode and winter its really nice.

I am going to do rear brakes as mine are making terrible noises now and the 60k service soon.

Anywho, I bumped this to see if anyone is interested potentially in a nice AWD DD?

I just found out last week that I am in line to move to Fargo for work and head up a new office there. I'd be a hybrid salesman/engineer type thing, where I would do some of everything. In which case I'd get a company car so I won't need the Kizashi any more. I think I would be looking at a new Ford Fusion Hybrid, that is what they are getting the people lately, so that is kinda cool.

Anyway, if anyone is interested let me know. I am in no rush but figured I would start here. Once things firm up I will post up a real FS thread. Also, will have to sell my house soon too (which sucks because i just refinanced) and maybe the evo.
