"Have you replaced the thermostat recently? Often times these cars run
too cool and this will cause a drop in mileage. The 87 C
thermostat should always be used as well as the standard temperature
Radiator fan switch, the lower temp fan switches will also
cause a drop in mileage. The winter oxygenated fuel will also cause a
slight drop in mileage, as will a slow responding O2 sensor that needs
replacing, but yours should be ok.  Around town mileage should be around
18-20 MPG if you are easy on the throttle, sustained highway travel at
65MPH should give 24-26MPG."

The O2 sensor was replaced when I bought the car, around a year ago?
And tested.  You can double check that with a vagcom, but odds are it's
fine, as I showed you from the inspection report the emissions are
extremely low.

No worries, I've got nothing to hide. :)

Sure, I'm always up for a good beer.  Never had crabs before :)
