Nasty gas mileage... B1 cam, 3500 stall ‘verter, 3.23 gears, some WOT runs, and I got 126 miles to 7/8 tank of gas in a full weight ’00 WS6.
Does that sound right? Seems low to me...

Re: Nasty gas mileage... I usually get about 240-260 miles a tank full, I have gotten 420 miles on a tank full when I did straight freeway driving - averaging about 70 mph. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Nasty gas mileage... Ryan,
Keep your foot off the floor when you leave all those stop lights and gas mileage will improve!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Nasty gas mileage... In my A4 with H/c job, I average right at 22 MPG going 70 MPH on the interstate with 3:73 gears. Not bad at all. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Re: Nasty gas mileage... Ryan, is your PCM tuning stock or did you have it tuned by MTI or someone else? I've noticed with stock tuning in my car the gas mileage is actually worse then when I had it tuned by MTI.

Re: Nasty gas mileage... Leo, it’s MTI tuned. So far on the current tank of gas I’ve gone 41 miles and used just a tad more than a quarter tank. Maybe I’ll get 140 to this tank... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />
Must be nice to have those 5th and 6th gears, huh? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
