Re: Horrible mileage - is this normal?
i am getting about 650 to 700 HWY and 500 when just city... that milage improves when i am not running the De-frost or AC (seasonal)... also notice a signifigant drag with winter tires... YES i use winter tires on a quattro!
up to 10% diffenece depending on where i get the fuel too... NEVER SHELL

Is gas mileage worse in the winter?..is this because of the heater?
Also i do go to Shell..I used to go to Esso..maybe I should switch back to Esso?
Any comments?
Thanks

I'm surprised people ask this EVERY year and everybody seems to FORGET. So get it in your heads this time!!
Winter gas will yield you less MPG. Winter Gas has more corrosion inhibitors / methanol etc. You will consistently get much LESS MPG with winter gas, period.

Ezera (Audi A4 Quattro) | Fuelly
Here is my fuel economy since I first bought my car. As with all winters I use more litres per 100kms. I do about 50/50 highway and city.

Re: Horrible mileage - is this normal?
I just put a bottle of Motomaster Fuel Injector in my car.
I asked the Service manager at our local Canadian Tire. He said "we sell alot of them but it won't help to the point where you will notice a difference"
Any other comments on these products?

Re: Horrible mileage - is this normal?
I cant believe some of the mileage stats you guys are giving out? Heavy foots, or somethings ups with your cars.
I have a 2003 a4 1.8t quattro manual. I definitely drive spirited but try to get the best milage out of the car most of the time.
I average anywhere from 7.8 to 9.0/100k on the highway and anywhere from 9.0 to 10/100k in the city.
I average about 650 to 700km per tank. A lot of it is highway driving how ever but with that said if I'm mostly in the city i still get around 600k.
Can't even believe that one guy that said he gets 350km out of one tank:S.....

Re: Horrible mileage - is this normal?
Same here. My E36 gives me ~540 off a tank(city with 30% highway driving) these days compared to the damn b5 which barely eeks out 350-400kms/tank(city with 30% highway).
So far, the whole quattro experience has not been good. But we'll see soon when a few things are fixed up here and there.

Here's a question...where the hell is the air filter on a B5 1.8T? The owner's manual says to let Audi change it, and I can't even find it anywhere to have a look.

Nope, no heavy foot. I drive conservatively, 20k to work (17 of which is highway driving). My summer mileage was a little better than now, but not by much.

Mine is around 10 L/100 kms, city and about 8 L on hwy.
Try Lucas UCL 5 oz bottle or Redline Si-1 fuel injector cleaner.
Check your sparkplugs and clean your MAF.
