My gas gauge is pretty spuratic(sp?)too. It will be like down at a half tank when I first start my car, then a couple miles later it will be like halfway between half and 3/4. It is a bit strange, but the gas light always comes on a the right time so that is all that matters.

When it comes to mileage:

1.8T > 2.8/3.0
manual > tiptronic
chipped > stock, unless you take advantage of what the chip is for
FWD > quattro
proper maintenance (regular oil changes, fuel/air filters, plugs, and CORRECTLY INFLATED TIRES) go a long way
Conservative driving > WOT launches
highway cruising > stop-and-go driving

If you have a big injector mod, the computer will show higher than actual mileage/range.

yeah mine does too i guess...but when i go and fill her up itll say like 10 mi left, then i end up having 2 gallons still in the tank...wtf is that?
That's called reserve capacity, so you don't run it all the way to empty and end up stuck on the side of the road somewhere.

new spark plugs might be the cause of poor mileage, or bad 02 sensors...
