Thats normal for me I average right around 21mpg I do a little better running it in over drive sometimes but besides that its normal.

see if your pcv valve is working i think thats what it is called if thats bad you dont get as good of gass mileage for some reason.

Congrats on the new purchase, and enjoy!!

Alot of people say the air silencer removal trick helps mileage as well as throttle response.

just checked my mileage today, getting 25 mpg.

[93slowpony]

I've heard some people gettin friggin 32 miles on a 5 speed. But other than throwing one in there check the egr valve and pcv valve

A standard transmission is better for fuel economy, well thats just one thing that makes it better.

I have a 92 with 5 speed I am getting 27mpg and got 33 the

If you can put a real cold air intake on, i used to get 19-21 and i am currently getting about 24-25mpg.

Used to get 18-19 with the a4ld swapped in the 5spd and getting 23-25 now. Same tune up from 4 months ago. Go 5 speed
