I filled up tonight and got 62 litres or 16.38 US gallons to a tank. Based on my last fill I registered 410 km or 254 miles. That completely sucks! I had a A4 3,0 L 04 Quattro which was a monster on gas and got the A3 hoping to get better city mileage but I must admit this stinks.

What is the true capacity of the tank? Some people say its 14.5 gallons or 55 litres but I got in 16.38 US gallons or 62 litres tonight and I wasnt sure whether there was gas already in the tank before the fill- it showed empty but has no idea how empty.

I have about 14,000 km or 8700 mi on the car. Is this a common issue with these cars? I love everything else about the car- speed, handling, pickup, sporty etc ... but the mileage is terrible.

Any ideas why I am getting 15 miles/gallon?

tks

Bad pump at the gas station? Always been getting 15mpg??

Yep- same each time....could it be the gas pump- fuel injection system?

Something is very wrong. Even when being a hooligan around town, my car gets near 20mpg

x2. I average 24-25mpg, in spirited driving I'll still get 21-22mpg.

I usually get around 21. If I can mix in a good amount of freeway driving I have gotten over 23.

I never managed to put more than 53 L. Car manual says 55 L tank capacity.
I get an average of 10 L/100 km which comes out, according to my conversion calculator, to be between 23 and 24 mpg US.

never put more than 14.2 gallons in.
