I get ~25 MPG on my daily commute between Stead and Reno and all the city driving in between. I get ~27 on the freeway. I don't get on it much, though. I know I don't have an RS but find it funny that I get better mileage than you with a heavier, older, turboed car.
You're surprised that a low-compression (off boost) 2.0L motor gets better mileage than a high-compression 2.5L motor?
