i averaged 23 on a recent 5000 mile roadie. and i had my foot in it ALOT.

far better than my last car, fricking 10mpg on the interstate driving very conservatively with pathetic in-town mileage.

god bless fuel injection and overdrive.

I am getting an average of 22.5 to 23 mpg. I mainly drive to school. I baby the ls1 and only use it when needed. Going from 13 with my gta to 23 with the ls1 is a big difference, maybe now i can afford some mods.

I was just asking if that was average or good If I wanted an economical car I would've bought a hon-duh. Instead of making pointless comments why not share your info instead of making off topic comments.

I averaged about 21 with my m6. Now after the cam, I've only run through one tank and it was about 16. That tank had a lot of wot and idling though for tuning and stuff so I expect that it will jump up to about 18-19 when I'm done tuning.

Well just my .02 cents: I have the tornado fuel saver thing and I highly doubt it works...but numbers don't lie. Maybe I just see a lot of double overdrive (5th-6th gear)?

with my A4 and minor mods, i get around 19-21 mpg mixed driving. on a 2 hr trip with some 100mph runs from a dig (country road red lights), i still did 26.5 mpg.

my '90 Accord A4 with no cats used to only get 25-27 mpg mix driving on the same exact 50 mile route that i use to go to work.

I mostly drive in the city. I average 18mpg. The best I have ever got was 20mpg and the worst was 12mpg. I bought it to go fast. I don't abuse it, but I don't take it easy either. This is a 6spd WS6.
