Yeah, if you're not on it 24/7 then that's awesome. Figure 15 gallon tank X 20mpg= 300 miles....Rated stock at 18 city and 23 HW. That's F*N great!

Re: How many miles should I get on a full tank?

Well after readin this thread......i decided to push it and try to get close to a full tank of gas out before i fill. I got 15.385 gallons in.....and i had 260 miles. How does that sound....my car is a A4, 3.23 option gears, with the mods in the sig. I only drive prolly 60-70 miles of it on highway.

well thats alot better than me, i have 46K on my 3.23 option LS1 and i will usually get like 220-30 miles to a tank in city driving, and about 300 miles a tank on highway. but yes, 260's pretty good. maybe i just have a lead foot?

I got right next to 400mpg when my car was stock on a mostly highway road trip, cruise control is there for a reason. use it, it saves gas.

Re: How many miles should I get on a full tank?

Man, this **** depresses me with the numbers you guys are getting LOL.

I bought my 1998 Z28 and drove almost 600 miles from Conneticut to North Carolina. I

I filled it up in CT, drove I-95 back, stopped once in NJ for a bathroom break. The traffic conditions were:

A little city driving in CT, some stop and go/low speed traffic in Jersey, tolls in Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland, HEAVY traffic in DC, and then open highway from DC on.

Made it to 80 miles north of Richmond, Virginia and still had 1/4 of a tank left from the fuel up in CT. I believe it was around 335 miles or so. Filled it up there and drove the rest of the way home and had almost a half-tank left(around 250 miles).

All the highway driving was in 6th gear with cruise set at 72-74mph.

Re: How many miles should I get on a full tank?

I am thinking these bada** MPG ya'll are gettin' are due to these things:

-6 speed
-Possibly flatter area, no hills and such
-Maybe above/below seal level has an affect?...

Nah, an M6 all highway gets damn good mileage. Since I *USUALLY* only bring it out to race, I typically get around 250mpg. But an all-highway road-trip with an M6 results in good mileage.
