MY car seems to be running a little bit rich. I don't have cats and I don't have the O2 simulators. It didn't seem to run rich until the cold weather set in. Before the cold weather I was getting about 270 miles on a tank of gas. I drive 100 miles on the interstate per tank, during the week I just drive to school and I don't really drive the car hard. However, on the weekends I run the crap out of it. Latly I have only been getting around 240 miles per tank. Wondering what everybody else is getting milage wise per tank.

 

I have a 99 z28 (not sure about gas tank size) and on a recent trip to Socal i got 24mpg, 360miles plus (cant remember). Around town i usually get about what u do. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

 

There are a few of us who are a little concerned or pissed that we don't get anywhere near the gas milage that GM promised. Bone stock, fully inflated tires, and conservative highway driving and the best I could pull was ~24mpg on a few different occasions. The other day, I only got 16mpg in city driving... and I don't have a lead foot typically. That is ****-poor for a stock 6-speed IMO that is marketed to get 24/28 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

I will say that they were right on with the 1/4 mile and dyno numbers though, so I will be content with the milage I guess. It obviously isn't an engine problem because the power is there...

 

Only get around 14 in town but 25-26 on highway. Love this car! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

With my heads and cam package i see around 12 to 13mpg city but can still pull mid 20's on the highway.

I'm happy as hell I have a 11sec car that can get mid 20's on the highway.

If your worried about gas milage you should of boughta 4 banger.

 

I'm not worried about gas milage, i was just curious. I take that 4 banger message as an insult. I have more V8's in my garage right now then you ever will.

 

my freinds formula got 31 mpg on the way to slp weekend. and he usaly gets 23 or so in the city when raging on it. its a m6 none of my other freinds ls1 gets near that good of gas mileage i guess its a freak.

 

I dont get sh_t for mileage with A4 and 2.73 rearend best ever was 22 on interstate going 70 babing the hell out of it. I know its not an import econobox but the point is why do these cars seem to have large differences in the mileage

I see a lot of stop n go traffic so I usually average around 14... On a recent highway trip I got around 23 and that was with a lot of 6 gear cruising... Oh well. Gotta love the fact I just paid $2.09 per gallon of 91 and it's only going to get worse. I've actually seen it as high as $2.30 out here. Still, tho - wouldn't trade my V8 for anything (except maybe a V12)!

 

I usually see 17-18 in city driving in my M6/3.42gears cammed car with lots of spirited driving.

On the way back from SLP Day, I saw 25mpg cruising in 6th gear @ 85mph.

 

21 mph combined highway/city with 4.11 gears and M6. Plus, I have a lead foot! I'm not complaining <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Still have the stock cam though.

Dude i just checked my window sticker and it said 19 city/ 28 hwy. Not 24 city. As for stock track times mine ran 13.40 at 106.5mph, and i was not a good m6 driver! I guess these cars vary alot at times. I wouldnt trade mine for anything! (Within reason)
