I wonder if it has anything to do with the varying types of fuel sold across the country. I know here in NJ we have a special blend of gasoline. Chicago has another and California multiple blends. I think there's approx 20 different blends of fuel distributed across the country.
I'm averaging 34 mpg after 12,000 miles. The lowest I get is 31, highest 39. It's been consistent from the beginning. I don't normaly go faster than 65-70. I take it easy on take-offs and let go of the gas early for braking. Other than that nothing out of the ordinary.

I'm ranging from 29-34 MPG. Running highway miles around 70MPH will get 34. At 80MPH you won't get much over 30. My first tank was about 23MPG, now with 10K+ miles (since June 04) it will get the 31-34 on the sticker, willing to bet more with a K&N installed.
BTW, I drive the ____ out of cars so 30+ MPG at 80+ MPH is great!

all in all.... im ok with it..... but not completely satisfied....

I noticed that I had the venting set on floor/defrost. But I never noticed teh a/c light being on. After driving and lookin under the car, I came to the conclusion it did have a/c on. I'm assuming that's where my mileage came from.

I have 13000+ miles. With 4 snows in winter have seen as low as 26. This is driving at speeds o70-80. The highest I have seen w/my stock 15" is 33-34. The key is keeping revs below 3000 rpm.
I also have 150 lbs of stuff in cargo area and mine is an automatic.

I just hit 23 on a road trip - trying to follow my buddy in his A6 going 85 against a MASSIVE headwind. I can't say I'm surprised by my poor mpg under these conditions...

My 2 cents: My 5 speed xB, with 19K showing gets 34 to 35 on the highway under 70 mph. In town, I shift around 3K rpm and get about 31 mpg. The trick is the engine sucks gas the moment you start getting it above 4K rpm. If you drive sane (as the car is designed to do) you will get good mileage after break in.
If you goose it a lot and keep those revs up your mileage will plummet into the mid 20's before you know it.
