Curiosity...Gas Mileage in your ride?
I have a 2002 Camaro SS A4. I have done a few mods to it since purchased in 2002.
Stock the car got Hwy 24-26.7 MPG 3.23 gears...city 18 MPG
H/C/I/stall 3600 390rwhp the car got Hwy 23-24 MPG 3.23 gears; surprising...city 16 MPG
408ci 500rwhp with 3.42 Moser rear/3600 stall/built trans Hwy 20-22.6 MPG...very surprising...city 10-11 MPG
These were calculated hwy/city drives of more than one tank of gas.
What kind of gas mileage are you guys getting? Do you know your stock vs modified mileage? A4s vs manuals? I would prefer calculated mileage not what your electronic sensor is telling you (corvettes). I know the one in my wife's car is usually off 2-3 MPG when calculated.
I am not concerned about my gas mileage but this is more curiosity than anything...who knows one day it could be a study...

My '98 SS A4 (mods in sig) w/ 3.23's averages around 20 combined. Best I ever got was 23 and that was pretty much highway, except for like 5 miles getting from my house to the highway. Not sure what it averages 'just around town'. I've never only driven it just around town so I can't speculate on that. It'll probably be getting worse now though since it's not my daily anymore and we all know what that means...

The C4 ran up to 30mpg on highway trips and about 20ish city. (love that thing for a DD)
The cammed LQ4 ran up to about 15/23.
The LS1 Formy with bolt ons gets about 17/23.

Mine is always mixed driving right around 22 mpg. I am a full bolt on car. Seems like whether I drive like Grandma or like I stole it the mileage never changes. Always filling up right after 285 miles on the tank.

2000 Z28 M6, LS6 intake, lid, dumped one chamber; basically stock in other words. 110K miles and still on stock plugs and fuel filter so it might have done a little better if I would replace them
Drove from Pigeon Forge, TN to Ohio and got 29.5 mpg, driving between 70-75 mph the entire way
It usually get between 18-20 in the city

Just got the car a few days ago and have only ran a tank of gas (mostly play, new car fun ) through it. 26.5, right around 370 miles before the gas light came on. LOTS of playing on that tank of gas. 2002 M6 Firebird.
