by hand calculations, i'm avg arond 28mpg with lots of highway driving on the weekdays, and some city driving on the weekends. the computer says i'm avging over 31, so you can decide which one you think is more right. just over 2600 miles on the odo.

I have calculated some good MPG on the highway about 450 to the tank on the highway. But around town I seem to be getting about 22-24mpg.

Wow, impressive!

Yes, after about 5,000 miles they tend to get better MPG.

MY Audi Quattro 1.8t with mods gets 34MPG HWY if I stay out of max thrust.

I want to hear what people have actually checked manually as well, not just what the computer says. I think it needs to be a full tank to be accurate, or at least a more real world average.
