With the wonderful accuracy of gauges in these cars, how about you give us a MPG number and not something so vague? It's pretty simple. Next time he fills up, reset the trip meter, drive a tank, fill it up at the same pump preferably... divide miles driven by how much gas you put in. How are his driving habits? 6 speed? Auto? Wheres he drive mostly? In town? Freeway? Gears? Mods? FWIW, my girlfriends 'stock 94 T/A A4 with 3.23's with a 60/40 mix freeway to city gets about 17MPG average. Car has 160K on it.

The car is a4 and is mostly stop and go. Im pretty sure he had a race in that full tank. But he is pretty much stock except for the full exhaust. Car has 140k.

I get about 200.. the Gauge does drop quick, if it's at 1/2 on it, it's actually a 1/4 tank. Pretty much half of what is says past that point.

Man, I get like 140 all the time. I don't drive the car hard at all in fact it never gets above 2500 rpms. I think its so bad because my work is about 5 minutes away and so my car never really gets warmed up.

Some of you guys get some crazy miles, any suggestions. New plugs wires and one 02 sensor.
