My in town numbers are between 15 and 17.5 mpg's.Not too shabby, considering I am running a 4.08 diff.

I wouldn't think you would notice in town difference much maybe 1 mpg at worst.

However when Audi tried the same approach last year with the special S8 they knocked 2 mpg off the city cycle vs the same engined A8.

I think those numbers also tell me that my coolant temp is not so hi as to make my ECU go into the overly rich for safety mode.
