Purchased this '11 A3 back in March and since then the MPG has gone from 36mpg down to 31-32mpg combined driving (probably 50/50 highway city mileage). Just took a 450 mile round trip to Tampa Bay with 80% highway averaging probably 73mph and we ended up at 33.8mpg (pen and paper method). Over the past couple of months I have been doing all the low hanging fruit items like fuel filter, air filter, diesel kleen, changed oil and changed the DSG fluid. Nothing seems to be helping and as I mentioned MPG has gotten worse. I have also check the brakes and the pads had even ware and didn't show any signs of sticking. This past trip has left me feeling a bit frustrated as to what the issue is. The car has just turned the 60K mark.
Besides the poorer than expected MPG the car has been great and my wife and I really love it. Any ideas where to look next? I do have a VAGCOM and no codes are present.
Thanks in advanced for any help.
