I have gotten towards 20 with all interstate driving, but around town here (I live in Charlotte) I get about 10- 13. Thats with 4.10s though, and I have a tendency to get on it a little.

I usually fill up around 250-270 miles at a 1/4 of a tank left. I average 21.5-22.5 mpg. Mostly highway with some city thrown in. I cruise at 75 MPH on the interstate. Usually gun it up the ramp. I have A4 with 3.23s. Around town I try to stay under 2k rpm's. I have gone to 300 miles to a tank twice. Both times the light came on as I was driving to the station to fill up. If I would cruise around 65 mph I could probably get to my 300 miles on just the 3/4 of a tank. I have just an SLP lid.

just to add, I filled up, had some fun in it going WOT to about 100 3 or 4 times ,and for the half a tank i got 191.3 miles and it's touching the midway point. I know the second half goes alot faster though.
