Default What kind of gas mileage are you getting?

I'm getting about 23-24 around town if I keep it in Tip mode and shift it at low rpms. On the highway about 30-31 depending on traffic conditions and my speed. This is a 2003 Avant 1.8T.

Yep, I'm getting right around the same in my 99 2.8qm - it still surprises me that this car is so good on gas, considering the curb weight, quattro, awd, and short gearing. Not complaining though

In town, (L.A.), I average 19 mpg. I drove to San Diego last week and averaged 22 mpg. I'm not a hardcore throttler, but I do make a lot of short trips around town, so perhaps the frequent starting and stopping is eating up ga$?

I've only had my 2.8qt avant for a few weeks and i've averaging on 22-23 on mostly freeway driving, 75-80mph, 87 octane. I just boosted the tire pressure to 40psi all around to see if that improves things at all. Going to try a few tanks of 92 octane next month to see if there's any difference... (not expecting much if any)
