Car: 2006 A4 2.0T AT Quattro, Purchased: 11/30/05. Just filled up for the second time.

First Tank: 14.3 MPG, 95% city, short trips, used Sport setting and tiptronic extensively, driving aggressively, climate is Atlanta, GA, average outside temp 40 to 50 deg F.

Second Tank: 17.6 MPG, 90% city, short trips, never used Sport setting or tiptronic, driving very, very conservatively (to try to get maximum MPG), climate was a bit colder this week, average 33 to 40 deg F.

My prior car was a Mercedes E-class V8, 5 years old. The same driving produced 15.9 MPG's at 275 hp.

The A4's mileage stinks for a 4-cyl, small car. I know that if I did more hwy, it would improve, but the rating is 22/30 city/hwy. Who came up with that? Do you think the car has something wrong with it?

For about the first month I was averaging 17-20.

Now it's a solid, long term, 25+ in mixed driving. Give it a little longer before you make your final judgement.

I will say that my milage has gone down now in the extreme cold and lots of snow, but that's to be expected.
