Default Gas mileage

just curious if you all would post in general how many miles you get out of a tank of gas. Please specify if you are M6 or A4.

Mine: average city/highway/WOT...regardless of conditions, my average on my A4 is about 240 miles to the tank before the "check gauges" light kicks on

what about yours??

I don't usually get to the bottom before fillup
but: 23MPG (80MPH hwy) and 16MPG (mixed).
A4, 3.23, TCI 3000 converter, top down always!

Right around 280 miles to the tank, I think the '98s have a smaller gas tank. Good mix of city/highway driving. M6.

I'm at about 250 miles so far. But I'm expecting the fuel light to light up on my way home from school. I get around 18 MPG in the city. A4 and some bolt-ons.

I dont remember the mileage per tank, but I typically get between 17mpg and 19mpg combined city and highway. I have an A4 and I usually fill it at the 1/4 mark (about 11-12 gallons).

This isn't bad considering that my mother's 1990 3.1L V6 Lumnia is rated at 19/21 mpg city/highway and my car has two more cylinders and nearly twice the displacement.
