i used to get about 15 in my '02 ws6, lots of city driving. I'll average 20 in the GTO with a 50/50 mix of city/highway. '02 was an A4, GTO is an M6, slightly shorter 6th than the f body's have.

10-12 mpg around town, 24-25 mpg on the interstate.
98s have a smaller (and heavier) tank than the later years so don't worry too much about mileage per tank.

Im looking into a 99 M6 Z28 with (gears- the guy is looking up what they are in there), catback, a lid, and a tuner and basically thats it for performance mods. Should I be able to tune the car with the Hypertech to be able to get maximum gas mileage while still being able to quickly(and easily) change it back to a race mode/race gas fuel map?

I get around 15-16mpg city/highway mixed. Used to get around 20 when stock.

Working the mpg out won't make it anymore economical. If it needs fuel just fill it up or park it up

if you guys get anything over 15-16 pure city your lucky. Come to Montreal, worst traffic ever!! I get about 17 with stop and go/hwy. Thats not skipping gears and not beating on it at all. Short trips kill my mileage as well. When i hit the gym, its about 3 miles away, but theres like 20 lights and 20 stop signs, i get about 13mpg pathetic!

Threads like this and 'whats your current rwhp' both hate me.
I only get like 13/23
I'm starting to think I'm tuned very rich but I haven't touched the ECU, and I'm pretty damned sure the last owners didn't.. both were 45+ year old ladies.
Anyone????

Did you get a wideband hooked up for your dyno pull?
