I've been keeping track lately and on the last 4 tanks i've had mileage has been 28,26,27.5 and 27mpg. Some were all highway or atleast most but some were 50/50 split with a few more miles in town than on the highway. I can get almost 375-400 on a tank with mostly highway (keeping it around 80-95mph the whole time). In town it just depends on how i drive because i've gotten as good as low 20s and as bad as mid teens.

i get around that in the city, usually around that when i fill up, probably worse. but on the highway mileage is great. and if i get 420 miles on a tank, with my tank thats only 27 mpg. i;ve gotten as low as 10 just driving to work and **** though...

 

Well, here's what I can offer to help make some sense of this:

1.) People with manuals are going to see a very large amount of variation in mileage due to both driving style and environment. Drive it like you stole it and expect mid teens. Anything normal or highway should yield over 22 or so.

2.) Auto guys with stalls = bad city mileage, no so bad highway. Auto guys are also more sensitive to highway speed, 85 worse than 75...

3.) Short trips KILL mileage in these cars. If you tend to drive 10 or so miles a go you are going to get bad mileage. Same for traffic of course but seriously the short trips are probably the single worst divider outside of mods.

4.) Cold weather/hot weather can be a 1-2mpg swing.

5.) Tires can be a 1-2mpg swing.

6.) Everybody's gas gauge is different, 2-3 gallon different empty readings, for sure.

7.) Some people might stop filling at the first click, some people might be pumping in that extra 1-2 gallons.

You add all that **** together and it should make sense why there are ranges from 150 - 350, before you even start talking about the condition of the vehicle and mods.

My LT1 hard top A4 3.23 gave me anywhere from 14 to 22.
My LS1 vert A4 2.73 gives me anywhere from 17-26.

More than anything, I think the short trips are the biggest killer. Terrible, terrible mileage running around town, bar hopping, stuff like that.

 

Check my sig. I NEVER get less that 250 miles per tank. I have gotten as high as 375 miles with very little left over. I'm still getting 26mpg highway after all this time and can still blow the doors off of most people out there. I love this car!!

 

I do very short distance driving just here in town. I have an auto with no stall and only get about 308 with a full tank. Is that right or is there something wrong with the car?

 

with the same style of driving i get about 20 on my mods untuned.

it seams like my first 1/2 tank last for 180mi and the other 1/2 goes bye bye. whys that?

 

I've got about 340 a tank, but the least I've ever got it is 250. For a V8 and how fast our cars are, the mileage is decent. I love my F-Body!

 

i average 250 a tank try. doing a tune up plugs/wire fuel filter pcv valve. etc.

 

The tank is V-shaped IIRC, so the top portion is larger, as the flot or whatever for the gauge sender drops its technically getting into smaller holding capacity due to the tanks akward shape.

 

my car gets about 260-270 until my gas light comes on. Which gives me about 3 gallons left. I have never pushed far past the time when the light comes on..

EDIT: How many gallons does our cars normally have after the light comes on???

 

I used to get about 300 with the A4 city driving, now I get 350-400 with the manual (2.73 gears)

 

I fill up at 1/4 and I usually have gone about 250-275. This is city and 50/50.

 

I get about 260 to a tank with normal driving

 

Just did a trip from San Antonio to Dallas and back today.
Going, averaged 28.4mpg and 27.7 back! At the final gasup, I put in 14.4 and got 399 miles on that tank and the light never came on Now, I average almost exactly 15 around town though

 

My light has never came on and I've had it pretty low. maybe not low enough?

 

I get about 270 or 250 when I get on it a few times M-6

 

I get around 300 miles per tank at crusing speeds around 75mph on the highway. Of course crusing around locally - that's a different animal altogether.

My lastest trip to Sparta (St. Thomas Dragway) yielded 265 miles from a full tank with about an 1/8 of a tank left. That included driving to/from Sparta at 75 mph on the highway (plus crusing through town at lower speeds) and doing 10 quarter mile passes at WOT.

 

I avg about 11-12 mpg with my car, daily commute is 13 miles round trip of 35 and 45 mph stoplight hell and besides going to work I rarely drive my car. Hwy my car can get 22 mpg.

 

god i only get 270 to 300 and my in a v6?!! what the hell... main reason i didnt want a v8 is because of gas mileage...?? guess i wasted my time...

 

Mine is doing a little better, Im at 110 miles still above halfway mark, so it looks like this tank is gonna last me around 220 or so +/-
