Anyone drive a 2.4 V6??

Hi there, I own a 97 Passat turbo petrol. I was looking in an old parkers guide and I saw that there is a 2.4 V6 available in the pre 2001 audi A4. Its an old parkers guide, which means they list a MPG range for each model, rather than a one figure average (not sure why they stopped this). The figures quoted were 24-44 mpg, which i thought looked pretty healthy for a 165 bhp V6, the same in fact as is quoted for my Passat. I also notice that the figure quoted for models after 2001 is quite a bit lower. I was wondring if anybody owned either model, and if these figures are anywhere near correct?
