I don't know whats wrong here, but I won't even say what my SS gets.. It is HORRIBLE, I fill it up, drive around town and whatnot, easy on the gas pedal and I have to fill it up again in no time..

My 2000 SS gets around 16-17 in the winter with around town driving which keeps me under 50 most of the time. That turns into 18-19 in the summer. On the highway I get 22-24 depending on cold/warm weather. I think I'm averaging around 18 overall since I got the car. My old 93 LT1 Z28 averaged 17.5 overall so it's pretty close. The A4 defiintely hurst compared to the M6. My old 4Runner got around 17 mpg average in the winter around town with the V6 and 5 speed. It would jump to 20 mpg in the warm weather and do 24 mpg on the highway. My old Tacoma 4 cyl pickup averaged 17.5 mpg in the same conditions. So I don't think it matters what I drive, I won't see 25+ around town.

i recorded 29mpg highway over a 4.5 hour trip from nj to my base in ny. Shocked me too. One tank to do 350 miles... with at least an 1/8 to spare. 6speed ftw.

Around town...like 10...haha... the smell of raw fuel follows me

Car never sees more than a few miles of highway at a time, but tanks have been between 15 and 21, usually ~18.

Somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 city, 20 highway. I think I may be overestimating my efficiency.

T/A - has seen a best of 26 mpg on highway 2:73's
Average is 20-23
Worst was 16 when I got it - it needed a tune up.

V6 got a best of 34 mpg.... then I added 4200 stall and 4:10's and fuel economy went down the sh*tter

My Lincoln gets 17 city and 28-30 highway and 22 city if my dad drives it. My 74 isn't on the road but I would estimate it to be abut the same as my old car which I filled 3x a week

74 t/a - 10 (455/ ST-10 w/ 3.42 gears)
78 t/a - 10 (455/ ST-10 w/ 3.42 gears)

22/26ish with my z28 depending on how much highway it sees. all highway it will touch on 30.

HHR gets 28 mpg regularly with stop and go traffic and regular driving. Have gotten 35 w/o traffic when I drive it nicely.
