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)

Gas mileage sucked BIG TIME on my '08 2.0T Multitronic Front Track. Probably getting around 20 mpg on city. I use (76) Super Unleaded.
