02 A4 1.8TQM 5 speed.  
Bone Stock  
89-93 oct - no noticable diff. in mileage or performance.  
95% city driving.  
21 mpg driving it “hard”  
26 mpg driving it smart (coasting whenever possible, keeping it out of boost)

27-29 mpg hwy. Could use a 6th gear to get better, but that wasnt offered until later models.
