Default ouch... I average @25mpg on my commute, which is driving gently, but>

even when flogging the car on weekends, it's still above 20mpg.

Default Yeah on a 1.8T that is pretty low MPG. The worst MPG my 3.0 gets is like 19 but only...

when I push it. Normally I am in the 22 to 24 MPG range.

Default I usually fill up at 1/8 tank or so, which is 350 miles driven. I'd say >

something is up with your car.
have you done plugs and air filter lately?
keep your tires pumped up?
you should be able to do better than what you're getting.

Default i fill mine up at about the same time as you....

do you do mostly highway driving? mine is mix of mostly city/some highway. mind you, my city is not like LA, so it's not a whole lot of stop and go...usually i commute at about 60mph.

also, all the services have been done by Audi dealer, so they should be on top of changing the filters, etc.

How many Imperial gallons does the tank hold? Or is GB on metric for that?
