Well, assuming that you did that with 15 gallons of gas, that's like 26 mpg. Pretty standard, but I think even my 2.8 would do better than that with 85% highway driving. Might be worth looking into masking tape and Royal Purple fluids.

i really hope this is all just a big joke lol because im not to sure that electrical tape is going to hold up that well going 75 down the highway for 3 thousand miles, and 40 miles per gallon with ease on the highway blah blah is pretty rediculous to consider, low to mids 30's is reasonable and as for you saying that b6's are tanks... whats the weight difference?

hahahaha, i told my real life friend someone on the forums claimed 49mpg. He just started laughing, then laughed more when I told him how he claims he did it.

(all cars sedan 4cyl turbo quattro manual)

B5 3241 lbs
B6 3406 lbs
B7 3406 lbs (1.8t)
B7 3517 lbs (2.0t)

So yeah, nearly 300 lbs lighter, plus I did remove probably 100 lbs worth of stuff.
I could have swordn I already said that, or you could have just gone and looked it up. As far as electrical tape holding up, I use it all the time to hold on my number panels while racing, and that blue painters tape works really well, too.

It's so cute that Amze has a real-life friend, and it's nice that you want to tell us all about him. I don't see why you all are so incredulous of this, it's not like I'm claiming that I just won a million dollars while racing against an Enzo and then Jenna Jameson said she wanted to marry me. You guys just look at something and since you can't possibly see how it could be done you think it's a like. It makes a lot of sence that I'd just make this whole thing up, seeing how super-cool I am by doing it.

I bet most of you would think it's a lie that a locomotive can move 1 ton of cargo 423 miles on a single gallon of fuel (yes, diesel.)

I never assumed that you were lying, I just figured you'd forgotten about a couple of fill-ups. Look, it's a really far-fetched claim, you can't expect not to catch some flack, though I am surprised with how hostile some of the responses have been.

^ditto. like i said, i'll believe 40mpg driving on flat roads and constantly going 70, but 49 is just not believable. especially since your the only one getting that kind of mileage in this entire forum.

oh and yeah a locomotive can do that, when its already up to speed. its got a lot of momentum and diesel is crazy good for that kind of traveling. if you had a diesel car, i'd believe 49mpg highway no prob. now factor in the locomotives mpg trying to get UP to speed. waaay worse

That's even worse than my old Lincoln Towncar getting 9 mpg... The worst I've gotten in my Audi is about 13 while racing.
