just wondering how many miles per gallon or miles per tank yall get for a manual, and how you drive under normal conditions (i.e. what RPM's yall shift at)

i thought that i was just driving a lot recently, but i finally set the trip odometer to figure out how many mpg i was getting and it was depressing..like 140 miles to a tank.. i think im driving too fast/shifting at 2500, but iv started shifting at 1500 and trying to drive more conservatively if im not racing or screwing around

 

Usual week I get 260 miles, and that's with a fairly heavy right foot

 

yeah wtf...what do you usually shift at?

 

2500RPM shift's and 140miles a tank...

 

i have 1/2 my shifts at 6k and half at 2500... most of its in town, I get about 240 per tank m6

 

Mostly 2500-3500, tho at least once a day I hit 6k

 

I must need new o2's or somthing Ive been getting raped , that second half of the tank goes so fast

 

Well I have an A4 so maybe it doesnt apply as much but I typically get about 260 miles per tank w/ a fair amount of screwing around and 50/50 city / hwy miles. Although I do agree that the second half of the tank tends to (Seem at least) go faster than the first half. My last tank averaged about 23.4 mpg

 

I'm lucky to get 15mpg what gives?

 

Hey U my freind are lucky to get 10

 

... Well I am pretty gentle on the gas around town... I only really play around on the highway I suppose that makes a little bit of a difference. But I try to keep my foot out of it ALOT which will probably only last till I get used to the car

 

Call me a miser, but I get at least 300 miles every tank. I usually shift at 1500 around town and I go to 4th even when CAGS doesn't make me. On the freeway it's a different story though. But since I'm in California with higher gas prices, I need to do this. I filled up yesterday at 2.57 per gallon.

 

I don't know what i get, cause it's still my first tank of gas. But i'm a bit over 1/4 tank and i have ~200 miles. I figure i'm getting ~22mpg. I shift around 2500 when i'm just cruising.

 

Im trying this

 

yeah i have a A4 98 z28 camaro and i get 300 miles per tank and thats goin 80-90 on the freeway and sitting in traffic.

 

Last weekend I recorded 26-27mpg in mine as it sits... thats with my blower cam installed (blower not on yet) and without tuning on that cam.

Last time I recorded it was with the TR224 cam and without tune, 28mpg.... 399rwhp.

These are freeway miles of course... in town I dont generally care about economy.

 

I bet you dont get half that around town...

 

Ehhh.. Im willing to bet its about half, maybe better. Im not that agressive with in town driving.

 

ALthough an A4, I get about 25mpg on the highway driving mostly sane.

 

Uhm... Why might I be getting about 12mpg? someone was saying bad o2's? I do have the SES light and some error codes and my uncle was saying he thinks that it's the O2 sensors; can that do that?
