A4Q 2.8 5speed MPG?

[John Legelis <jlegelis@fmrco.com>]

Just curious what people are getting in terms of real-world gas mileage
on A4Q 2.8 5speeds?  I've just completed the first two tank-fulls on my
new '97.  Most of the drives consisted of suburban errand-running and a
few short highway trips.  The first tank delivered 18mpg, the second got
twenty.  How many miles need to be on the motor before the gas milage
stabilizes??

p.s. Interestingly, I've found the on-board computer's avg. mileage
calculation to be within .5mpg of my own calc - the car's fuel metering
must be pretty accurate...
