A4 1.8TQM gas mileage
Just calculated my first tank to be a little over 20 mpg. Used 91 octane gas and not ideal conditions (commute is more like a little hiway with a lot of stop and go). The car is bone stock (150hp), BTW. Searched for mpg and found that this guy:

is not getting much better on the low end. Is it the same for you folks with a 1.8T?

With the tip the best I ever did was almost 400 per tank... My 4kQ made 520 miles
a many times with lots of fuel to spare. But that was a tank 18.5 gallons. Typical fill was 15 gallons ~32mpg on the highway. I'll never see 32mpg again with this car.

I feel a little better knowing that I'm not the only schlep with ~20 mpg
Was thinking that something was wrong, initially. But 77k miles is too soon for the O2 sensor to go. So I doubt that's the prob. I did drive it hard a few times. Oh well.
