Are you sure you're not using the metric system?
Ha, ha. Well, let me list what I do and then you see if you can improve your mpg's.

tire pressure >= 35psi.
Mobil 1 5W-40 oil
clean air filter
NGK V Power plugs w/ .032" plug gap
start slow from a stop (drive like a grandma lol)

Also, I only use my car to commute to work with very little stops. And my motor only has about 70k mi. on it.

If I have the best mileage then I deserve an audiforums.com reward!! Ha, ha.

On a longer trip, highway mileage, I've pulled about 32mpg based on a full tank and a fill-up back to full, calculated from the trip odometer. Cruising about 70mph steady, AC off, and 38-39psi in the tires. Did it on several 3-5 hour trips. Amazing what good maintenance can achieve
