wow that's terrible. you should be getting at least 280 with all city driving and many spirited redline action. time to seafoam, new plugs, and new filters. you use 93 right?

There was a MPG thread a while ago. You can look and compare there.

i did but they really didn't answer anything and the guy never posted back anything on what he did or if he got any good result's? i mean i have new spark plug's NGK all gaped to 0.32 i think and new coil pack and everything but still MPG is really sucking...But im gonna do the air box mod on my 2001 1.8T this weekend so will see how that goes and if i get any better results from that

I've been getting 20 to 22mpg city/ highway driving. I normally get 300 to 320 mile per tank.

I'm with ya buddy, I only get about 240 to a tank maximum. I think I have a bad front 02 sensor that could be to blame. Have you looked at your 02 sensors?

I mean i have the same all around tire pressure that i put in like 4 week's ago and tires look fine i do have a CEL since i bought the car that i thought it was gonna be taken care of when i had my coil's redone by Audi but it came back so im guessing it was not that, ill get a code reader this weekend from the autopart's store and read the code and post it back hear but i highly doubt that it's my o2 sensor but will see what code i get
