I make 200 miles with 16 gallons in my audi a6 2.7T- 01 - 97k..it is on average or not ? city driving

 

Key words are "city driving". "Cold weather" doesn't help.

That's not even 13mpg - despite city driving and being in the cold, something is going bad - it shouldn't be that low. I'd clean the mass airflow sensor, check/change the oil filter, and possibly look into new primary (pre-cat) O2 sensors. Also, you should consider doing a Seafoam treatment on the car, in the fuel, oil, and vacuum systems - that can make a nice difference. Search "seafoam" and you'll find a ton of info.

 

Check your brake calipers, to see if they are dragging. If they are dragging, then there may be rebuild kits available with the seals and boots. Parking brake cables sometimes fail.

 

I say stop driving so hard, haha.....so just how hard are you driving? What do you get when you baby it and go nicely? The issue is that you would have to be pretty much gunning it at each and every stoplight to get that kind of gas mileage.

 

I have been driving with this average for three years now .. luckily the car is in the mechanic and going to do those tests and cleanups thanks

You may be "cute" (guapo), but you gotta ease your foot on the pedal from the stop lights...
I agree, showing everyone else in the traffic how good of a take-off you got is not worth it
