Default Getting better MPG on 09 Audi A4?

So what can i do to my 2009 Audi A4 2.0T Quattro Premium to get better mpg because i simply am tired of filling my gas tank every week and a half.
When i'm driving I feel that that I'm not getting good city mileage on my car.

I wake up and get ready for work and when i head out i look at how many miles I can drive with my current tank of gas and i'm about a 5-10min drive from where i work. Lets say i have 210 miles of gas in my car and so i head out to work and then arrive back home in about 4-5 hours and i look at how many miles of gas i have left in my tank. I find that instead of having 205 miles of gas left, i only have 200 miles worth of gas left and i drove only 5miles.

So please tell me what i can do to get better gas mileage out of this car.

Thanks

First you would need to determine what your actual MPG is. Try doing it the manual way by filling the tank as full as you can make it. To do this you need to take your time and fill it slowly. Reset your trip monitor and drive the car 100 miles. Refill the gas the same slow way and divide the number of gallons into 100. That's your avg. MPG. Audi says 21MPG city and 27MPG highway with an avg. of 24MPG. These are a little optimistic so if you do a lot of city driving you'll be getting around 20-22MPG. Good luck
