No doubt this question has been brought up before, but I got 98 2.8Q and I'm only getting on average 280 miles per tank. With normal wear over the years its understandable to lose some fuel efficiency, but the specs say 19mpg (city). So I should be getting around 311 miles per tank. Granted I live in NYC and its ALL city miles but I feel I should be getting a bit more. Whats your miles per tank?
This question is mainly for 2.8 owners, and if anyone has any (educated) ideas on how to improve gas mileage let me know. Thanks.
Also has anyone else noticed that where you buy gas affects your mileage?

I usually get about 300, sometimes more. Although that doesn't mean anything to you because I have a 1.8T with a k04, and you have 2.8. Apples and oranges
