I was beginning to think I was the only one with some pretty poor average gas mileage. Highway I can not complain at all with only 3 speeds, but city is pretty bad sitting in traffic for hours on end eats gas to I guess

I get 18 around town, 24-25 on the highway, and that's with all the stuff that I have done to my car (including 4.10's and a big cam)

I get 31 <img src="images/icons/shocked.gif" border="0"> on the highway if I hold it down, do sixth gear driving, and don't pass the errant 'Stang in need of correction.

Note to a few people above: Never, ever use less than 91 octane in your car unless you can ski downhill in your backyard. 93 should actually be the minimal standard. Going less than that will cause knocking - kick in KR, and cause a serious power loss

Would the plug wires also be a cause? Also how do you tell if one of your O2 sensors are shot? before I actually go and check, I want to know what I'm looking for.

Not an f-body, but I see 31-33mpg all highway driving and 24-27mpg mixed driving.

I've never got less than 24.

Got any tread left on your rear tires? <img src="images/icons/shocked.gif" border="0"> I get about 250 to 275 miles per tank with 93 octane fuel.

I get about 18 mpg city and about 25 mpg highway.

I just filled up from near empty this morning, and a quick calculation put me at 21 MPG. That's with driving about ¼ highway (70-80 MPH), ¾ city. <img src="images/icons/cool.gif" border="0">

man keep your foot out of them and you will all get better gas milege. i drive 50 miles round trip and i get about 320 mile to a take!!!m6 average speed 70-80 mph

Draxxus

I get anywhere from 16 to 19 in city driving and about 25 at 75mph, I figured out though if i set the cruise at 55 I can get 33mpg! Anything faster or slower eats my gas. This is with a ragged mostly stock 98 TA A4 that is currently running 3.43 gears and an engine that just rolled over 152,000 miles.
