What's your MPG ???

How many miles per gallon/per tank do you get with your F body?

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.
