Howdy All ~
I have a '99 9-3 SE auto with about 100k and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what gas mileage I should expect. I drive reasonably moderatly but am guilty of WOT frequently enough. I use top grade gas, synthetic oil, regular Techron treatments, etc...I get between 16&18 in town and high 20s at best for hwy. But I drive pretty fast, too (80mph ave on road trips).
I just modded my airbox and have yet to swith the air filter -- so I guess any estimates should just look at a stock set-up.
I read a post a while back that talked about rich mixtures and how this will affect gas mileage -- and that one symptom of this is black soot at the exhaust -- and I think my car may exhibit this.
Thanks in advance for your input.
