Gas mileage?
What kind of gas mileage are you guys getting? Im getting about 16 to 17 around town with a pretty light foot, and i have an M6. Make sure to specify whether you have an M6 or A4.

i'm an A4 w/2.73's, nearly all stop-and-go driving in my daily commute. i regularly shift at ~2200rpm's with regular runs to 3000-4000rpm's and have never seen any less than 21mpg in the month+ i've had my car.

Haha my car gets like 11 MPG, I was getting 200 miles to a tank and after I installed my lid I get 170. I drive through all the gears, I cant do 1st to 4th, but I dont even know if that makes a HUGH difference I get 11MPG and everyone else says they 20+ so I duno. I only have 27,000 miles on my car and the most MPG I ever had was driving to E-town in 6th gear down and I had 100 miles to a 1/4 tank.

I have a 6-speed 2000 SS and after the last time I filled up I did the math and I got a tad bit over 20 mpg. I pretty much followed the shifting patterns found in the Camaro manual with a couple of fast runs on the highway. But 90% of the driving was stop and go.

I drive what i consider normal...with a light foot and an occasional romping through the gears and I get 16.5 to 18.2 in the city and the best on the highway for some reason has been 21 and that was going about 70 to 75...but i have only gone on the highway that one time. My only Mod is a Lid and I have an M6.

just mod your car accordingly. underdrive pulley, lid, catback, LT's, FTRA, electric water pump, tune - all add mileage. if you get all that stuff done you'll be looking at i bet 25mpg. i know an underdrive pulley's huge for fuel savings. too bad i have a system...
i've found my car likes to be ran harder...if i shift at 2000rpm's i get 21mpg, if i run it up to 2500rpm's i get 22mpg...maybe i get into overdrive faster, i don't know...

i get about 22 mpg, average 70-80 mph all freeway/ highway miles. had the car for over a month now, but i'm thinking i can do better with a tune up. noticed a lot of carbon on the tail pipes too. trans in sig with 3.42's. my 04 imp ss was getting around 24 mpg before i got rid of it. so i can't complain, considering gas just hit $3.30 a gal.
