Just drove from MN to NV 1700+ miles, and most tanks averaged 25-26mpg, and with 2 tanks I got 29mpg. This was with cruise set anywhere from 70-80 mph on the trip.

i did mods in my sig and my mileage went from 32mpg on highway to 33 after mods lol that was on 391rwhp. Barely anybody ever believes me until i take them out for a roadtrip and prove it to them. Then they don't know what to say. This is with the targa ON and at 70mph. at 75-80 i get 31mpg.

Its easy for you pussies with your flat and straight roads!

I hear in IN you cant even use a rifle to deer hunt its soo flat you can only use slugs in a shotgun.

Try getting that in southwestern PA / WV area. There are NO flat roads here, not even our highways. You are either going up a hill, or down one. It sucks gas big time. I cant imagine the guys on the west coast, im sure its worse. You Texas / Midwest / Florida / Coastal area boys, have it EASY....

Actually, in Indiana, we've come up to speed with the modern world and can now hunt deer with rifles chambered for pistol calibers! The bullets don't travel as far..........

But, it is so flat in northern indiana, we know every hill by name. ( Both of them!)

Going down hills is good for gas mileage isn't it?
And like I have posted in other gas mileage threads, I have gotten 30mpg before on nonstop trips from my hometown to college...in an A4. Flame suit on.

Fastvert...I feel your pain. I am so used to hills that anytime I see a field bigger than a football field it looks weird to me. I was in Akron yesterday and it was flat as a pancake.

Actually on my trip from MN to NV, even going through mountains and constant hills, I still managed 25mpg consistently. But on the flat areas of south dakota is when I managed 29mpg, so yes, flat land helps A LOT.

lol If you think Akron is flat, go farther west in Ohio and it gets really flat there.

I have quite a few bolt ons, and a4.

I currently get over 25 mpg 50/50 highway to street.

That is pretty damn good for a car with a tad bit over 300 Hp.
