Crazy good gas mileage in my '98 Z28
SO on my drive back from the Bay Area to San Luis Obispo I figured that I would track my gas mileage. After just filling back up at $4.90 a gallon, I got 30.75 mpg during the trip. That is ridiculous considering my windows were down and i got up to 85 mph in a few places.

That's incredible! I never have exceeded 25 mpg highway in my A4 but my friend's '99 6-speed T/A gets in the 28-29 highway mpg range on long trips too. Many people with 4-bangers will shake their heads at this but it is quite accurate.

Ya I am going to Cal Poly right now, I am pretty sure that SLO has the highest average gas prices in the state right now, good thing that everything is close together and that I do not drive too much. There are a decent amount of FBodies down here and it seems like everyone is from the bay

The best I got was 27+ mpg after going WOT a few times in 100 degrees weather, windows down all times AND I weighed 245 and my passenger was 220lbs + 50 more lbs of stuff in the car!
I think I still had 3.42s at this time
But I had a lid and SLP LM and I cant remember if LT and ORY at the time...
