B5 1.8TQM A4 - Gas Mileage

I get about 25mpg with a mixture of highway and city driving. I tend to have somewhat of a lead foot though. With granny type driving, you might be able to get ~30mpg.

Cheers,

Chris

That's about what I get as well.

I don't think there's anything wrong. That's just how these cars are. Heavy + quattro + turbo = bad gas mileage.

Although, if you haven't changed your air filter or spark plugs in a while, I'd suggest you do. ;-)

Cheers,

Pete

Those numbers seem really good. I only get about 20mpg combined city/hwy in my 1.8 TQ

OT: Did you get your chip/turbo issues straightened out?

I just got my X-chip back in the car... and for some reason it doesn't feel as "fast" as I remembered it, but then again, it's been so long ago, it may have just been my imagination...

Cheers,

Which side of atlantic? Gallon being 3.8 or 4.5 liters?

- Juha -

With my old good chip I get 700 odd km out of a tank if I drive sparingly - then again I praise myself on my never using the brakes unless strictly necessary - which means I save on both gas and pads/rotors. Normal driving will get me 600 odd, and spirited about 480. So, the secret goes: the better you are at anticipating - and that means keeping a good distance to the car in front - that's why I try to be precisely that one :), the less you'll have to use your brakes which in turn translates into better fuel economy.

Now, let me tell you something. Normal ordinary people don't have a clue what economical driving is this side of the ocean - that's my side, and with the kind of prices you guys are getting for gas overseas I don't see why you should worry in the least!

Yours,

JP Roberts
