i stopped visiting this website for atleast 4 years over this subject but i cant resist. my A4 w 2:73's best mpg was 25 all highway. worst 18, city avg 20 mpg, next year i'll have a 3k stall. i dont believe the people that say they get 30 mpg. i have asked anybody to step up and post milage w fill & after driving the tank almost empty go back to the same station & same pump for refill. post mileage & even receipt w #of gallons so we can do the math. thx cheers.

just read though the whole thing.
couple quick questions?
what type of fuel are you using? ethonal blend or 100% gasoline?
why no 6th gear? i cruise around town at 50 or so in 6th gear, sometimes i even skip 2nd and go to 3rd or even 4th.
my gas mileage is maybe 12-14 mpg, using 100% gasoline. 2002 M6, SLP lip and Loudmouth 1 exhaust, 3.42 rear gears, everything else stock.

If the o2 voltage is bouncing around so much and going so high, how do I differentiate between bad o2's and other symptoms? Like is it my 02's saying the truck is running running rich because it really is, or is it that it isnt running rich and the o2's just think it is? Am I making sense?

I have owned both LT1 and LS1 Formula M6's. I daily drove the LT and my LS is now cammed and basically a garage queen. I used to get somewhere in the neighborhood of 20-22 with the LT. My daily commute was 90% highway. My LS, I bought stock. The best I ever got out of it was 25 on a long trip. Now that its cammed I average 16-18 with a highway trip best of 22ish.
I wont call BS on some of the MPG numbers I read because I once owned a car that routinely got higher than expected numbers, but 30+ out of these cars is tough for me to imagine based on my personal experience. I dont get that amount with my 4cyl Toyota Venza company car that I put 40000 miles a year on.
