160 if I push it on the bike. So about 40mpg.
Maybe 325 in the Explorer on 21 gallons. Had it for 2 or 3 months and I've only had a full tank twice. Gets about 15-17mpg.
28mpg on average with Bike & Explorer..

I have a 94 lt1 car and its a4 and i pull off about 315 a tank with mixed freeway and city driving. I think my car does fairly well for an lt1 with 104k miles. Plus its bone stock as of right now, so im sure that helps

Man I dont feel that bad. Im getting about 200 out of 13 gallons of gas. So Im averaging about 15MPG but thats ONLY city and I have a very heavy foot!
On highway I would drive up North. It was a 220Mile trip and I would get there with the needle Right Under half a tank. Thats about 27+ MPG and thats considering doing 80+mph Most of the way and a couple 120+ runs. So Im sure I would of got over 30mpg if I kept the car at 75mph all the way.
Got to love that 6th gear.

97,000. when i pulled the old ones out they were more than likely fouled cuz they were covered in a light coat of oil. i replaced my pcv valve as soon as i got my car cuz i went through all this when i had my 02. so i should have my oil consumption solved. i dont think a catch can is necessary, i just need to get a new $4 pcv valve at each oil change. works for me.

I know the cars are nothing alike, but when I had my old Sunfire it went from around 290-300 miles on a tank down to 180-200. After two weeks of that I took it in for a tune up and they replaced my o2 sensors and the problem was solved(just throwing ideas out).
On another note, wouldn't a catch can be cheaper in the long run? With inflation and everything, that $4 valve might not be $4 for long.

I am getting about 12 mpg on the SS all city and short freeway kindof a lead foot though. I did get about 30 mpg all freeway with the car all stock at 44K. The tank in my 98 is smaller than the 01 too so less total miles. My truck is seeing about 280-300 city/ tank (26 gallons of 91). 06 Sentra 1.8 = 28 mpg city, 33 mpg hwy, best all hwy 39 mpg. will attatch picture later.
