It's about 322 miles from Phoenix to Banning, depending on how I drive across Phoenix. I usually get 25-26 mpg on that leg. I have gotten 27 mpg from Bay Area to LA. In town I average 15-16 mpg.

My stock '98 gets about 80-100 miles more per the same amount of gas. That's about 18-20mpg mostly city driving.

On the weeks that I have a few 50+ mile intersate trips, I'll get around 250 miles before I fill up. And, the fill up is usually under 14 gallons. Also, I have a hard time keeping my foot out of it.

I think you’re correct. For some reason I had 16.2 stuck in my head but now I think I remember it actually being 16.8 as you stated.

i got 420 miles before almost running dry on my way to connecticut from maryland. i usually get to exit 9 on the jersey turnpike on a half tank and thats around 220-230 miles. i'd say thats pretty damn good, thats also with headers untuned and throwing a code for slow reading front o2. the car gets pretty good mileage when you cruise at 90 and your trip is pretty much a straight shot halfway up the east coast.
you guys get such shitty mileage lol...have any of you ever road a full tank of gas on the highway with no city mileage? i have a hard time getting 150 miles on a tank around where i live, i have a lead-foot, but on the highway it seems the car barely sips gas, and i always use the trip meter because i like bragging to my parents and friends...lol
I got an average of 21 from michigan to florida. it was the same all the way down. i need a tune but i think this sucks. i was way conservative too. the tank after my gears i went 24mpg now it just sucks. im hopeing a lower and a pulley will help a little. mods that pay you back lol.
I usually get 300 miles to a tank with the tank a little under a 1/4 left. I ran it till the light came on and it was around 330. I think if figure around 21-24mpg avg. Mid length, ORY, corsa, lid A4 car with 3:23's!!
So how do i get 250 or more to a tank? I did my tune up incl fuel filter. I seafoamed my car in which no smoke came out. I also put seafom in my gas tank and in the crankcase. I average 190-200 miles on a tank within the city. so in simple terms...WTF IS WRONG WITH MY CAR?????
