(Honestly, the A4 was my first car with a turbocharged engine and I learned pretty damn quickly how turbocharged fuel economy goes down the tubes when constantly changing engine load, like in stop-and-go)
Nah, just kidding. Yes, I had an M3. And the kind of driving that nets 20mpg in my AH3 would get me about 10mpg in the M3
