Here is a nutcracker of a question-best mileage on a tank - NJFBOA - Home of New Jersey's Camaros and Firebirds

OK, what was the best mileage you obtained on a full tank of gas(stock tank 15 gal)

Now this is sure to provide some interesting results:

Mine was 360 miles (pre-stereo install and totally stock at the time)

Base LS1 highway mileage with a m6 - 360-400 miles. A4 - 350-360

Rich189 · 09-12-2006, 11:46 PM

i normally get about 200-220 on 3/4 a tank i norm fill up at 1/4 so thats what i go by

Firehawk 526 · 09-12-2006, 11:48 PM

Have you ever gotten those values? Man, I never came close to 400 miles
That would mean 26.6 mpg, and best I've gotten was 24.x

j0n · 09-12-2006, 11:48 PM

dont really remember how many miles to the tank...but i did get 30.000000000000000000001mpg once

Mike Bonte and a few other have gotten 29mpg on the highway with there M6 cars.

With the 3.73 gears the best I avg now is 22-23mpg on the highway.

i got 29mpg on my SS when i drove down to orlando straight, i just stopped for gas and stayed in 6th 95% of the time.

Ian · 09-13-2006, 12:39 AM

i have about 270 on the tank now with about 2 gallons left

enRo · 09-13-2006, 01:09 AM

honest to god, i drove upstate ny which was 160 miles, used just a little over a 1/4 tank, A4 that is. i thought i would have to fuel it on the way up since it was when i first bought the car. i was amazed.

Savage_Messiah · 09-13-2006, 02:49 AM

I average around 300, hit 350 once (this is with the 4.10s)

12secondv6 · 09-13-2006, 08:45 AM

My v6 saw a best of 33.3 mpg..... which is close to 500 miles per tank. I think I filled up with about 14.5 gallons... I was REALLY pushing it!

A4 + 3:23's + 3200 stall + skinnies =

Teds89IROC · 09-13-2006, 08:54 AM

My best in the iroc was I think 15 or so

I went to Martha's Vineyard on half a tank with my LT1 with 3.73s

got 360 miles (3/4 tank) with my stock 98 TA

JL8Jeff · 09-13-2006, 10:06 AM

I got 380 miles out of a tank driving down to Annapolis and back. That was with my 93 Indy Pace Car with the A4, stock 3.23's and the Powerdyne supercharger. I got 23 mpg driving the 96 SS up to the north dyno day meet. Same A4 and 3.23's but I got stuck in some decent rain on the way home.

ryanfx · 09-13-2006, 12:58 PM

Best I can squeeze outta my car is 28MPG. I assume since my engine is entirely untuned I could pick up a couple since its probably running rich.

slugger27nj · 09-13-2006, 01:13 PM

I got close to 29 when we drove from Marlboro to Louden, NH in July (made it on 1 tank). I filled up at around 320 miles, but could've gone further. I just don't like running the tank too low.

Savage_Messiah · 09-13-2006, 02:20 PM

i average 300

maybe hit 350 once?

r0nin89 · 09-13-2006, 03:01 PM

Dude I swear my tank in my thirdgen wont take more than 12 gallons... I thought it was the same tank O.o ?

Firebird67dude · 09-13-2006, 03:16 PM

I only get at best a whopping 19.6 mpg. Highest mileage i got was 230 but that was almost stalling running on fumes.

bad64chevelle · 09-13-2006, 03:32 PM

When I first got my 94 Z A4 I went to upstate NY and got 27 MPG driving conservatively, now with the mods if I drive to conserve I have gotten 21 out of it, but normally its like 17.

chemicalstylez · 09-13-2006, 08:39 PM

Daily Driving is 225 miles to the tank. I fill it on the 1/4 mark everytime.

All highway i can get about 340-350 miles on a tank.

deadtrend1 · 09-13-2006, 10:04 PM

I never really calculated my 96 because the odometer doesn't work. Only way is to look at a map and do it that way i guess.

On a side note, I did make it from my work (philly area) to Orlando, Florida, and back into Georgia before I stopped to get fuel. But that was with the bigge truck that has twin 75 gallon tanks. Best milage I got from that was 9.5 MPG when I went to Portland, Maine and back. That used up a little less then half a tank.

ar0ck · 09-13-2006, 10:34 PM

Ive hit 29-30 before on non stop trips to Binghamton NY. Recently averaged about 27 going down to Virginia, with a few stops. 95 Z, 3.42 6-speed. Locally I can do almost 300 to a tank mixed driving.
