Where on earth did you ever get this crazy idea you could get 40-45
mpg with your Audi?!?! The brand is A U D I, not H O N D A or T O Y O
T A . Better yet, get one of these:

Realistically, you'll be very lucky to get 28 mpg on the highway with
that car; I'm pleased when I hit 26/27 mpg with my 98.5 A4 2.8. My
gas mileage consumption has been very stable the entire 93k miles
we've had the car: 23-25 mpg city/mixed driving, slightly worse in
the winter (when temps drop below 30F). It did improve a tad in the
past few months after its 90k maintenance appointment at the dealer,
where all the filters and sparkplugs were changed out (thank god the
sparkplug wires were all still good; $50 per each is spendy!). The
car is a joy to drive and has power to spare, even though it's
entirely stock.

Err... have you actually seen a diesel-engined Audi, let alone driven
one?

40mpg should be easily obtainable with the A4 1.9TDi.

It's a 1.9 *diesel*. 40 - 45 is the expected mpg for the car. There's
something wrong with it somewhere.
