I get about 15 city 20+ hwy with an XE230/236 (6spd, 3.23s)

Since you didn't specify where the bulk of your driving is done, it's hard to say if something could be better...

(BTW...shorten your sig a tad )

that sounds about right if you getting on it a lot, and do mostly city type driving.....

Id get it dyno tuned on a wideband though.......

Did you get it tuned for the 30lb injectors??

I usually get around 15 around the city and maybe 20 highway. This is mainly due to me having an A4, though...

My gas mileage sucks too. My last tank I got 14 mpg. I'm not sure if the fuel filter has ever been changed, so I'm gonna do that today and see if it helps.

I get 13-14 city usually, and 24 freeway...then again, I'm pretty sure the B4C's run richer...

Man, I must be lucky. I get about 20mpg in the city driving pretty conservatively, getting on nit maybe 5 times per tank.

I do still haev skip shift though and use it. Maybe thats what helps me out.

(my cars stock except for a muffler)

Before programming, I only got about 140 miles to the tank. Now that my car has been reprogrammed for the cam, it can get about 180 per tank.
