Loks awesome. Love the Volks and glad you went with SL loads . But damn, how you avergaing 18 mpg? The best I have been able to get is 16.9mpg and I was babying it.

I saw that mileage in the mntns and hills. My thought is while in cruise on flatter terrain The OTT tune allows the turbo to spool up fast and bump i was up to speed faster and then you’re in the top gear and you’re just cruising. On the way out, it would just drag out to get to my speed slowly and then settle in the gear which i believe does not help mileage. . I was pretty surprised and this was my second tank of gas for the day out of bucees in Birmingham, Alabama 93 octane heading to Atlanta . The day before it was all about 16 to 17.5 through Arkansas hills into Mississippi.

Got it. I didn't take into account the tune. Maybe that's helping, and maybe the 93 octane helps. Here in CA we only get up to 91 which is a shame, so maybe that's it. Plus I'm sure my roof rack and steal bumper isn't helping either. Lastly, those Volks must be much much lighter than the stock Pro wheels so there's that too...Thanks for the intel.
