What is your GAS MPG?

What is your GAS MPG?
I wonder what other people are getting on their car.
I am getting 19.5MPG in city/HWY and how can I improve my MPG. Everyday I drive to work at 70-80MPH
2001 Audi A8 L
This is my first Audi, I had 2002 Infiniti Q45 it was the best but I crashed due to Cheap Chinese tires. I roll off the road during rainy day. Never going to buy Chinese made tires again, its not good in the rain. It was call hercules tires.

19.5mpg combined city/highway means everything is in good shape. 100% highway, you'll get about 24mpg max.
It's a 4156 lb car with a 310hp V8 and fat tires...physics is physics...forget about gas mileage, enjoy the ride and the power.
This is an infinitely better, safer and more sophisticated car than a Q45...a whole different animal...be happy for the improvement.

I'm getting 16.6 mpg right now, but it's predominantly city/congested highway driving (sucks). Silverd2 is right, you're getting pretty decent mileage, but you can do a few things like: 1.) make sure your tires are properly inflated, checking while cold 2.) change your spark plugs 3.)change out your air filter 4.) remove everything from trunk including your spare tire (not reccomended).

Realistically, I average around 17.5-18.5. On a roadtrip with 89 octane, ethonal-free gas, and a steady 65 mph, the eight yielded 30.6 mpg. I realize that none of us routinely drive with those conditions; but, it was nice to see what our D2's are capable of. Anyone else notice how thirsty our rides get with ethonal-blended gas???

I was getting 19.6mpg until I changed the spark plug. How do I reset the service light after the oil change on these car? My next step is to take the EGR valve and clean it. Hopefully this will improve more MPG, I wonder when people bought this car new what was their MPG display.

There is ONE way to check mileage accurately and it is NOT the readout in the car (VERY inaccurate):
Fill the tank, reset trip odo, drive to and from (only way to insure equal up and down hill...level average) a far destination, refill tank, divide miles traveled by gallons to refill.
There is NO other way to get a true reading...too many variables!
Service reminder reset:
