Hey guys, i checked my oil on sunday on my 2009 S3 and realised it was getting a little low, it was just above minimum, so i grabbed my litre top up in the boot and put in half a litre. Checked it was back where it should be and closed the bonnet.

I've not changed my driving style but on the same commutes to work & back, I've noticed that my average MPG is a little higher, i really do just cruise to work because i only end up hard on the brakes in traffic jams if i boot it but I've been getting high 20's nearly 30 now as opposed to mid 20's even going easy, i know its not a massive difference but does anyone think that its due to the oil top up, or just an odd coincidence?
