i just saw a the same car that you have on your sig driving to school today

 

You saw my car driving in Miami?!? Maybe I should go out to the parking lot and verify it is still here!

 

a clogged fuel filter will give ya shi-tay MPG

 

holy **** you guys all suck... i just got 415 out of my tank... that was about 65/35 hwy city with some spirited driving of course.

I am BT though idk if that makes any difference, but i got the same before i went bt...

(I normally never wait until its below 1/4 tank, but i decided to let it go to the gas light, so i filled up immediately when it went on - maybe 2 miles into the light - i dont recommend that!)

 

i hate you......alot.....-____-

 

yes you should run outside RIGHT NOW before they bring it back

 

I'd have to agree with flynnr, you guys must be doing something wrong with you're cars. Incase you didn't see my other thread, I just hit one quater million miles on my '99 1.8t quattro manual and I'm still breaking 400miles/tank. I had some trouble recently with a bad MAF and ICM (within a week of each other) but other than that it's the orginal block, turbo, cat and exhaust. The only mod (if you would even call it that) was a slightly better stock DV.

I do notice the mpg gets worse in the winter time, but even then I usually get more than 350mile/tank. And I'm poor so I always wait until the gas light come's on before I get gas, or at least pretty close. It usually takes just over 14 gal. to fill- do you guy with the lower numbers have smaller gas tanks?

28-29mpg, 11 year old car with 250K miles. now who would buy that?

 

Nope same tank size i fill up 14 also and what can we be doing wrong lol When i drive i drive like at 40 in the city at like 1800rpm or 1700rpm i get on the highway like 65 i only speed and do stupid stuff on the weekend's

 

Are you chipped? I'm not sure on this, but I would imagine being chipped hurts your gas mileage. I think I was getting closer to 350 miles per tank when I wasn't chipped.

 

Plugs, air filter, and tire pressure make a big difference. You may have a vacuum leak somewhere too. And an O2 sensor can be going bad and affecting your mpg without being bad enough to trip a CEL. MAF also plays a strong role in mpg. Hell, with mileage that bad I'd be checking to make sure your brakes aren't dragging. Even my 2.8qm with over 190k miles can get 32 hwy.
