My girlfrind's 1.8T was reading 18.5 or so and I reset the MPG
counter by holding the button under the lever until it resets. Then now it reads 26 to 29 MPG. Maybe the counter can use a reboot. Just a sugestion...

i always see ppl here claiming pretty high numbers, but my mileage is usually around that (18-20)..
if i drive like a granny i can get 22-23. i am chipped with bigger injectors, which takes a hit, but even before that mileage was only 1-2mpg better.
it's been consistent from i got the car at 60k to now at 125k. (fyi, i seafoamed at 110k)

Are you going off of the cars computer for the MPG? The......
dash read-out is only (somewhat) accurate on a stock car. Once you start modding you need to VAG the controller to compensate for the larger fuel injectors. When I was running stage 1+ I would show 32MPG on a 50/50 commute, when in reality I was getting 26MPG.

Seems a little low. Do a Seafoam or BG44k treatment and try a different brand of gas.
I seem to get the bast milage with Shell up here in NH. Winter usually 22-24mpg, summer 24-26mpg. with most driving on secondary roads, 3-4th gear.
If you are still on the factory plugs it might be time to check those, air filter and also check the O2 sensors.
