That's too damn low. What the hell? I know I drive aggressively at times but that mileage is crazy. Anyone get numbers like that? 16.9 miles a gallon. Something's wrong.

Default There was about a week of 100+ in Toronto and I've noticed the fuel economy going to hell...

I'm sure your car is fine. Check the next couple of tanks.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a4gen2/msgs/972778.phtml">clicky for sig details.</a></li></ul>

Default I'm impressed by the fact that you filled up 17.5 gallons... the most my car has seen was a shade

under 16 gallons.

Default Normal for my city driving. I drop as low as 14mpg even. But I do have Quattro and Tip.

So that makes my tank smaller and car heavier. I even complained about it when my car was new because I thought a 1.8T engine would give me great mileage. So they emission tested the car and found it to be within spec. Oh, well.

I get about 350, maybe more, out of a tank. Local TDi boys get 550+, but they smell ;-)

Default same here, city driving is usually about 15mpg unless i'm lucky and

the lights are green, very little traffic allowing me to coast easily instead of stopping and going.

Usual = 15-17mpg
Lucky = 20-22mpg
Highway = 26-30mpg
