17 mpg is normal?

RE: 17 mpg is normal?
When I had my 2001 2.7T tipronic, I averaged around 17-18 MPG for about 50/50 city/highway driving. Mileage seemed to be slightlyworse in the winter, which I attributed aminly to1) winter fuel mix, 2) car running while I scraped ice snow off the windows, and3) worse traffic on highways in the winter.

My 2002 2.7T manual got a consistent 22 mpg when I was commuting 140 miles a day, 95% highway. I get about 17 mpg now I drive a 50/50 city/highway mix. Mileage may seem low until you consider the curb weight is 3759 lbs for the manual and 3924 lbs for the tiptronic. My first car was a '69 327 Impala coupe that weighed less than my Audi...

I keep a little book where I figure my gas mileage at actual, because the computer is way too optimistic. I do mostly highway driving at 70-75 and summer mileage is 22-24mpg and winter 20-22mpg. City is down in the high teens. I've kept track from 34k - 90k miles. And (I always get crap for this) use midrange gas almost exclusively. IMO proper tire pressure contributes more tothe mileage than the octane. Others will debate this.
On a couple longer trips where I drove 55-60 I got over 25mpg. On one 180 miletrip back from Detroit when I drove over 90 most of the way I got 19-20mpg.
