I usually get between 320-360 on a tank depending on how I drive as well, and I keep up on all the maintenance on my car. I don't understand how some people are getting 200-250????? What mods are you guys running that have lower MPG??? I am running an APR Stage III with an APR HF cat and exhaust and I thought my car was doing so-so. I also change my spark plugs at every oil change as well.

I average about 23-24 MPG
in retort, i dont know how YOU guys get 400s???

most ive gotten was 350 and that was highway driving....city driving / commuting to school and work and stuff i get around 250-300... im running stuff in my sig... 20lbs boost....and i play a little usually

i was tweaking the fuel trims a few weeks ago and got 200 on my last tank, but i put it back and now at 280ish

also, were there diff size tanks between the facelifts?

I call BS on some of you guys getting 400-500.

My best was 325with about 60/40 city/hwy 2.8 quattro manual

I am going on a 900 mile roundtrip next week, will see what I get all highway.

When I had a supercharger on my Mustang I was getting 11mpg.

When I get 400, it's 50 miles each way to the office and it's all at 59 cuz that's where i get the best mpg. And I kick it into neutral for lights and shift early.

it might sound dumb but i drive about 500 miles a week just for work. I have lots of opportunities to crunch the numbers. for some reason, 59 gets me about 15-20 more miles from every tank than 60 does.

Ok... I got a 2.8 12v and I get between 225-250. Something has to be up with my car since people are claiming over 300. I drive a lot of highway to school and then locally around town. Should I change my plugs, and oil filter and see if I get better results?

I get about 300 driving in town and on smaller local 2 lane roads and thats with some fun driving thrown in. On the highway I can get 400+ depending on the speed I go.

For all of you that claim you are getting 450-500 miles+ I am calling bullshit... there is no way, absolutley no way unless your coasting downhill at 60 mph for like 30 and 40 miles stretches. why lie about this lol, does claiming you get higher mpg make your dick bigger or something???? by the way I average 77 mpg in my b6 intown with a lead foot so my ***** must be hugggggggggggge
