    Re: What kind of gas mileage do you get?

    I average 20-22mpg each week, which is 80city/20hwy. I always have my T-tops off as well, especially on the highway. This is a '96 3.8L 5-speed.

    The best I've ever gotten was 28mpg, but that was 100% highway.

      I got about 19-22 all city depending on traffic and how I was driving and on average around 28-30 highway. The best I did 100% highway was 32.

      In the legacy I get about 17 city. I haven't done much highway driving with it yet.

        Semi-aggressive driving. Pedal rarely hits the floor or redlines but its not uncommon for the car to see 4500 rpm or so

        17mpg all city
        25mpg highway


        I dont consider 17 too too bad seeing as how I could get more if I tried. Plus you dont really think about gas mileage when you're glued to the seat and have grin on your face from ear to ear.

                      Our Legacy got terrible MPG, too! Took me wherever it had enough ground clearance, tho...

                      29.4 mpg, 70% hiway/25% stopngo/5% like I stole her

                        Want better gas mileage? Read this thread:
                        http://forum.camarov6.com/showthread.php?t=80693

                        In all seriousness, without any mods to my car I used to get 350mls to a tank. I just fixed my fuel sender level (yesterday) so I'll know more about my mileage in a week. I've since added a Walbro fuel pump and a K&N FIPK Gen2 so I'm interested to see, too.

                            1996 A4 3.42's w/ some 18" rims, subs and amp (getting at more weight)

                            I've only tracked a combined mpg, and that was last summer and I got 22mpg...about 50/50 city/highway tho

                            and another time I got 20mpg when I was driving like a batoutof hell

                              2000 Z28 6 speed

                              Around town, probably 16-18mpg

                              When I fill up it's 24-26mpg, probably 65hwy/35city %

                              One trip to OC I was doing 75-80mph the whole time in 6th and got 31mpg between when I filled up and when I got there, I went straight from gas station to gas station on purpose to see what it was.

                              I gained like 2 mpg on the hwy when I put the longtubes on, lol

                              Edit: drive like a grandma, shift at 2000rpms unless I skip a gear.
