Mpg's
 
what is your guys mpgs at? My 94 lt1 seems to only get about 220 miles to a tank and that seems to me to be about 40-50 miles too low.

What octane gasoline are you running? I get about that if I run 89 octane. If I use 91 (that's the highest we have here), I seem to get better.

Under normal driving I get about 20 mpg on a full tank.

My car is bone stock w/ a cutout. LT1 6-spd.

If I'm playing around I get about 16-17 on a tank and my best ever was 25 on a trip.

91 octane is what i use.

24 MPG here.

has your local gas station switched to 10% ethanol blend? if so, you'll notice about 1-1.5 mpg loss. atleast i did and several other people i know.

If your subject is "Mpg's", then give us your MPG, not how many miles you get to a tank.

Well, I get anywhere from 14-24, depending on driving habits. But generally I get about 20, give or take, and that includes a good amount of playing around, and about 75% highway. I have an LT1 M6.

I use 93 octane and get about 18-20 mpg around the city driving like a bat out of hell!

EliteCamaro94 May 7, 2008 10:14 AM

I have a 94 z28 a4 and i get about 260 miles to a tank so its like 17-19 mpg i think. That's with mostly city driving and a little spirited driving here and there.

~LS1_TA May 7, 2008 10:16 AM

91 Octane and i get 19 combined.
Wrong forum sorry.

lt1noob May 7, 2008 12:15 PM

i got 21 with mixed city and a little country driving. that was with a few revs and flooring it a few times too. 93 octane with the 10% ethanol bullshit.

strokin93z May 7, 2008 12:46 PM

20-22MPG or 300-330 a tank. A4 with 373s.
