they are restricted, i hit 155 and it stopped (BEFORE MAP) and since i have been 165 :icon_thumright: ......... on a track 
My Audi S3 2008, with MTM software, Milltek TB, and upgraded air filter consume 25mpg (70mph)
Before the upgrade I was able to run on 32mpg at the same speed.
The fule consumption increased around 25% after the upgrade.

i think that s3 has a rev limiter rather than speed limiter..mine hits around 6400-6500rpm in 6th gear and at 265kmh/165mph, and even when the car was stock it could go even faster. will remove the limiter when i get my IC 
Normally I would get 300 to 350 out of a tank.
Last week I was on a training course which involved a 88mile motorway journey a day. So I decided to find out if I drove carefully enough with no air-con or having the windows open how much fuel would I use.
After filling the car up I reset the trip mileage. At the end of the week it was 450 miles with ¼ tank left. Filled the tank back up (6 litres after the first click on the pump). It was 47.56 litres.
That equates to 43 mpg. Not too bad.

I average about 26mpg so roughly 330 miles per tank since I've had Revo stage 1.
I did a trip up to the Peaks last week and back and averaged 34mpg for the trip, so good fuel consumption is possible if you're doing long motorway trips and driving relatively legal speeds.

Done just under 2000 miles now since new.
Overall consumption is 29.5 mpg
Most of my running has been long distance stuff with cruise control on. This is giving me average of about 31 to 32 mpg generally.
Boot it and by god she likes a drink ! But hey she's worth it

I drove up to Sydney and back yesterday (roughly 280km each way). I had already done about 30-40km prior to leaving and then did a bit of driving in Sydney as well. I filled up when I got back home to Canberra and put in 52.5 litres of fuel. Total distance for that tank was 646km (401 miles).
The best bit was the distance to empty reading after I filled up. I had another 7km to go to get home from this point, by which time the reading had dropped to 970km, haha.
Can anyone better a distance to empty reading of 1070km (665 miles) in an S3 (even if it is total ********, haha)?

I had the S4 Avant B6 & there is no way on this planet that it is as quick as an 8P S3, way to heavy & drank fuel like the oil leak from BP.
