Here is a nutcracker of a question-best mileage on a tank

[Firehawk 526]

OK, what was the best mileage you obtained on a full tank of gas(stock tank 15 gal)

Now this is sure to provide some interesting results:

Mine was 360 miles (pre-stereo install and totally stock at the time)

[Bandit]

Base LS1 highway mileage with a m6 - 360-400 miles. A4 - 350-360

[Rich189]

i normally get about 200-220 on 3/4 a tank i norm fill up at 1/4 so thats what i go by

[Firehawk 526]

Have you ever gotten those values? Man, I never came close to 400 miles
That would mean 26.6 mpg, and best I've gotten was 24.x

[j0n]

dont really remember how many miles to the tank...but i did get 30.000000000000000000001mpg once

Mike Bonte and a few other have gotten 29mpg on the highway with there M6 cars.

With the 3.73 gears the best I avg now is 22-23mpg on the highway.

i got 29mpg on my SS when i drove down to orlando straight, i just stopped for gas and stayed in 6th 95% of the time.

[Ian]

the best I ever got in my second gen was 14.5 8)

edit

that was with a 21 gallon tank :lol:

:stupid:

i have about 270 on the tank now with about 2 gallons left

[enRo]

honest to god, i drove upstate ny which was 160 miles, used just a little over a 1/4 tank, A4 that is. i thought i would have to fuel it on the way up since it was when i first bought the car. i was amazed.

[Savage_Messiah]

I average around 300, hit 350 once (this is with the 4.10s)

[12secondv6]

My v6 saw a best of 33.3 mpg..... which is close to 500 miles per tank. I think I filled up with about 14.5 gallons... I was REALLY pushing it!

A4 + 3:23's + 3200 stall + skinnies = :)

[Teds89IROC]

My best in the iroc was I think 15 or so :lol:

I went to Martha's Vineyard on half a tank with my LT1 with 3.73s

got 360 miles (3/4 tank) with my stock 98 TA

[JL8Jeff]

I got 380 miles out of a tank driving down to Annapolis and back. That was with my 93 Indy Pace Car with the A4, stock 3.23's and the Powerdyne supercharger. I got 23 mpg driving the 96 SS up to the north dyno day meet. Same A4 and 3.23's but I got stuck in some decent rain on the way home.

[ryanfx]

Best I can squeeze outta my car is 28MPG. I assume since my engine is entirely untuned I could pick up a couple since its probably running rich.

[slugger27nj]

I got close to 29 when we drove from Marlboro to Louden, NH in July (made it on 1 tank). I filled up at around 320 miles, but could've gone further. I just don't like running the tank too low.

[Savage_Messiah]

i average 300

maybe hit 350 once?

[bad64chevelle]

how many times you gonna tell us that? :lol:

[r0nin89]

Dude I swear my tank in my thirdgen wont take more than 12 gallons... I thought it was the same tank O.o ?

[Firebird67dude]

I only get at best a whopping 19.6 mpg. Highest mileage i got was 230 but that was almost stalling running on fumes.

[bad64chevelle]

When I first got my 94 Z A4 I went to upstate NY and got 27 MPG driving conservatively, now with the mods if I drive to conserve I have gotten 21 out of it, but normally its like 17.

[chemicalstylez]

Daily Driving is 225 miles to the tank. I fill it on the 1/4 mark everytime.

All highway i can get about 340-350 miles on a tank.

[deadtrend1]

I never really calculated my 96 because the odometer doesn't work. Only way is to look at a map and do it that way i guess.

On a side note, I did make it from my work (philly area) to Orlando, Florida, and back into Georgia before I stopped to get fuel. But that was with the bigge truck that has twin 75 gallon tanks. Best milage I got from that was 9.5 MPG when I went to Portland, Maine and back. That used up a little less then half a tank. :)

[ar0ck]

Ive hit 29-30 before on non stop trips to Binghamton NY. Recently averaged about 27 going down to Virginia, with a few stops. 95 Z, 3.42 6-speed. Locally I can do almost 300 to a tank mixed driving.

[Savage_Messiah]

I knew this thread looked familiar!

[Untamed]

I just did 345 miles from Arcade, NY (upstate NY) back to my house in Hillsbourgh, NJ, on 3/4 tank of gas in my '05 Camry, averaging 80mph (yay night time driving). Thats close to 32mpg using cruise control a little over half of the driving time.

[jimmyboy8301]

best with my car was 275 miles and when filling the car took 14 gallons of a 16 gallon tank. So my MPG was 19.64

The best for my truck being lifted was like 340 I think, and it took 23 gallons of a 26 gallon tank. I was getting about 14.78 out of that tank. Not bad for 4.10 gears and 35" tires.

[maroman88]

5.7TPI gets about 200 miles or 14.5ish mpg using 14 gallons with stock 3:42's? when driven like a grandma
5.0TPI gets about 150 miles or 10.7ish mpg using 14 gallons with 3:73's when driven hard

[oh one ls1 SS]

how the hell is everyone getting such good mileage??? if i hit 200 miles on a tank im lucky!!!! there was one tank that i didnt go over 3k rpm and it didnt really have any impact...i think my cars broke I WANT A NEW ONE!

[Batman]

I drove from NY to Virginia on a tank when my car was stock, can't remember how many miles but it was roughlky 31MPG with an M6. Now it gets like 22-23 the way it is now.

It's all in the way you accelerate, once you are up to speed it doesn't make much difference, like I said above that was my best. Probably averaged about 25-27 overall.

[Tsar]

um...yesterday i filled up and got 12.8 gallons and i drove for 285 miles. bad for 170k mile LT1 :shrug: it gets better mileage on the highway tho.

[Squirrel]

<---- doesnt care about gas mileage...i just know it does good and its still quick
