I'm getting about 375-395 miles to the tank. Not sure what that translates to in MPG.

I'm consistantly getting 30 mpg, sometimes a little more sometimes a little less. I think the highest was just over 31 and lowest around 28. This is mixed hwy/city. I stay fairly close to the speed limit. That does make a diff in mpg.

the lowest I've gotten on a tank is 21 (all city...very local and very short trips...when I first got my car cuz I couldnt drive stick well) and the most I've gotten is 37 (all highway). I average in the mid 20's I guess now but I dont drive very often...when I do its highway mostly.

my driving is either all city or all highway. there's never been a tank that's been an even mix of both.

that said, i top out at 30 highway and low 20s city (22-24).

I can't afford to fill the tank; but the general consensus I see is 300-380 is normal for a 2.0L (I've seen a 2001 drop dead feet from the pump with 390 I think on the clock... totally empty tank, too)... we left with 383 and she was in the red, and had been all highway miles.

Ok. Shes a little low then.. Maybe..

I have a TDI, I get about 37-38 city, and 40-45 hwy.

Anything I should check on her car that can cause issues with MPG? I just think it should do a tad better then 26mpg. -Jordan

we get about 26mpg's in town with a semi heavy foot, lol on the highway about 28mpg's at best, because we were running 75-80, if you stay around 65 you can get 30-32

I get consistently 26MPH city/Hwy mix. I have a bit of a leadfoot, and love to jump off the line. I have a feeling I will be slowing down a bit with the price of gas these days. $2.81 at the cheap stations here now.

I average about 350 per tank and I tend to have a ledfoot sometimes. Drove to St. Charles from Dallas and was averaging 70+ and that's what I averaged. So, if I lighten up a bit, perhaps more? I have 2000 2.0.
