Gear ratio-3.23
Stock or bolt-ons (please specify which bolt-ons) full exhaust and stall
Driving style (easy, aggressive, wild)-easy
Your best MPG for a tank of gas (please specify city, highway, or mixed) 23 mpg city/highway combined
I'm not seeing how people are getting close to 30 mpg with an A4. It can be done with a M6 but I'd have to call bs on the rest.
To be more realistic you can expect low to mid 20's with city/highway combined miles.

I have 3.23, a4, qtp headers, off-road y, cutout, ls6 intake manifold, paper air filter, and the ftra. I get around 250 miles per 13 gallons I fill up right when the light goes on. Mixed driving and I drive pretty aggressive normally drive around 70-85 mph on the expressways.

Just got 313 miles from a full tank....3.23s, ORY, lid, K&N, LS6 intake, LS6 cam, tune.
Could have easily gotten another 7 miles for 320...thats 20 mpg correct? Not too shabby...
My drive is 25+ miles on the highway each way to and from work M-F. Total of 69 miles a day round trip.
I am assuming the 99 tank is 16 gallons, anyone confirm or deny?

Singled you out, but a bunch of people did that.

You are going to have to take all of the numbers with a grain of salt. Here in the Midwest we get crappier gas, so you can expect atleast 2-3 mpg difference compared to somone who lives in say kansas, where they get better gas due to fewer emmissions regulations.
Best I got was 25 MPG all Highway with the car in my sig.

I just filled up today. At least she's consistant...
I went 277.4 miles, and it took 12.5 gallons to fill. By my math I got 22.19mpg.
Although I checked my tires on a whim after I filled it,and they were all at 20psi! I filled them up to 35 front, and 30 rear. Maybe that will make a difference.
One thing I'm curious about is to where everyone is from. I imagine that people in the flatter states get better economy. I wonder if that's where all the big numbers are coming from?

Yup, airing up the tires helped. I went 303.1 miles, and put 12.8 gallons in it. Works out to 23.6mpg. My best tank ever, actually.

98 Formula with A4 and 2.73 gears. I get low 20's local driving, mostly 2 lane rural roads and 15 mi. to town with a little WOT mixed in(hard to resist). On interstate trips it will be high 20's (26-28) if I can keep it under 75MPH. The car is stock except lid and exhaust with 35,000 MI..
