1.8T Gas Mileage..??? Is this normal???
I am not complaining, just wondering what others are getting or is something up.... BTW, I have had the car for only three weeks, so this is why I am asking.....
04' with a 6 spd, no mods and I am getting 19.8 mpg?? 286 miles when the low fuel light came on, the tank took 14.45 gallons...19.8 mpg!! Is this right? 50/50 city/highway driving, no long warm ups... IDK.. just seems low?? I got 22/24 with my old 202,000 mile A4 2.8!

That's pretty low for stock, lately I have been getting
around 22mpg(calculated) on a FWD 5 speed, slightly modded. I would also average 25mpg in the summer. Don't know how many miles are on your car, but you might be due for a MAF and o2 sensor. o2 sensors tend to go blind with age, allowing the car to run a bit richer.

My mpg have suked in both my 1.8T's
I dont drive like a maniac & its 95% hwy. But, I also dont drive 55 and thats the only way its seems these dogs get half decent gas mileage. Winter gas is full of MPG suking additives which brings it down even more. Thank the Gods gas is down to a $1.65 here!
