my audi a4 gets the award for WORST fuel economy! im not proud...
Hi pps,
Ive got a 1996 audi a4 1.8 n/a. on a full tank ($60 optimax) I only get about 390 KM, whats the go people why is it so crappy??? is this normal, if so man its not worth it to have this car.!!!
also i noticed when i idle I get a strong smell from my exhaust like pure fuel smell, as if some fuel isnt being burnt... when i give the car, smoke comes out (but thats like on 5500 rpms which i think may be normal)
a mechanic said it might be dirty fuel injectors, what do you guys think?
any feedback is greatly appreciated???

running rich (too much fuel) can be cause by a bad O2 sensor, fouled plugs, leaking/dirty injectors...
390 Km/tank is not really all that good. I get about 300 Miles/tank = 482 Km/tank. I currently have a bad O2 sensor too.
Not sure how big a diff a 12v should be over a 20v tho

I easily get 440 miles per tank (all highway) average about 29.5 mpg (US gal) at average speed of 80 mph.
I'd put my money on a bad 02 sensor and probably a cold climate and city driving for poor mileage
