Gas Mileage?
My six speed 99 T/A got 23.5 to 24.5 mpg for my daily driving most of the time as bolt on car. On a long trip the car got 32.8 mpg.
After heads and cam, etc & 4.10 gears, the average milage dropped to 21.5 mpg to 22 mpg for normally driving. On a a long trip the car got 28.5mpg
The very worst mileage my car got as the very first tank of gas as a brand new car. Got 16 mpg.
Wifes 2002 Z28 is an auto and it averaged 23 to 23.5 mpg for her normal driving.
If your in the city with a lot of stop light driving or sitting in traffic your mileage will be less.
Friend with a Firehawk and basic bolt on's tends to get around 23.5 to 24.0 mpg. The car has gotten a little over 30 mpg on trips before. It is also a six speed.
Good basic maintance, like clean fuel filter, air filter, good plugs gapped correctly, tires inflated properly, good alignment, no extra weight in the car, all help MPG. A light foot also helps.
Sometimes replacing the O2 sensors can help if MPG is really down.

I get 26-26.5mpg on the highway (with the AC on all the time). I would be without the AC on it would be at 27. and 15-19 in the city.. like everyone says this depends on your lead foot factor.
My last tank i filled up (right after i got my exhaust on, so i was constantly giving her hell) seriously almost all the time. I got 19mpg. I get about 27 for highway miles. I have an A4. I consider myself lucky when it comes to the gas.
i do ALOT of highway driving and keep a real close eye on my MPG i have been getting about 28MPG. i just put on my underdrive pulleys and a SLP MAF sence i have averaged 31MPG!!!! the last 4 tanks 90% highway 10 city. no playing around on those tanks.

A stock 6-speed is gonna get dqamn good milage assuming you aren't constantly running it to 6k on every shift. When I had my stone stock M6 Z28 I could eek 17-18mpg in the city be very conservative on the throttle and constantly jumping gears. Now with my A4, 3.73's and cam of death I get 11mpg on a good day...







I drive with a purpose also....
