36.0 MPG From Atlanta to Macon this morning!

[AudiWxGuy]

I averaged about 80-85 mph as well. The trip computer says something like 66 MPH but that thing always has issues. I made a video of my trip computer about a half mile from my destination to prove this!!

[AudiWxGuy]

Nope.

tree huggin' hippie! Step on the gas!







Jk, that's pretty impressive

[Kuang87]

nice I drove to phillly last week from chicago, and I only filled up once for gas. One tank lasted me around 515 miles. steady cruise at 75ish.

[smcgann]

I did the Atl - Macon trip on Saturday, traffic was terrible, I'm sure I didn't get a good MPG. I didn't pay attention though, I used a half tank for the round trip.

[AudiWxGuy]

Yeah, I usually do it late at night, after work, or after rush hour on a monday. Traffic is typically never bad at those times. I've made the trip from Roswell, GA to my Apt, off of Wesleyan, in an hour 15 before. (100 miles)

i don't think the onboard computer is very accurate. Through my daily commute (14 miles 95% highway with light/medium congestion), my onboard computer will sometimes show 40+ mpg average. I have consistently been getting 37+ mpg(according to the onboard computer) either way of the commute, but my real-world mileage is closer to 30 (500+ miles consistent from 17 gallon fill-ups)

Right...that's 14 miles. This was 97 miles. I find it pretty accurate actually.

i would kill for this kind of milage i get like 19mpg on the freeway with cruise control, maybe a little bit more but not by much. In the city i get about 10mpg and if i slow down i get about 13mpg

[polyconsoler]

And here I thought my Sacramento to Seattle MPG of 32mpg was good...

[bhvrdr]

man, sometimes i want my 2.0t back. nice.

[a4dc89]

ive heard even higher number on this forum from people with the cvt fronttrak getting around 600 to a tank. now thats impressive. i think HID was talking about that in a thread a while back

[jahciple]

i can get about 35 on the streets by going the speed limit.

[suprtran]

i can get about 35 on the streets by going the speed limit.

really? i get horrible milage driving around town, but do well over 30mpg on the freeway.

my car is a 2.0T quattro + tip.

[ImitationOfLife]

i can get about 35 on the streets by going the speed limit.

Yeah, I get about 30-35 mpg usually. I never, ever floor the gas.

[vroomraider]

25.25 coming back from tucson, az to white sands, nm two weekends ago in my 01.5 1.8t quattro. that was doing 10-25 mph over the whole time. a five hour drive in 3:57 door to door. can't complain....gotta love it. 409 miles out of that tank.

[jahciple]

here's my new best mpg.
it was at 9:30pm, about 25 mile drive, 20 on the freeway and 5 on the street.
i think my car might be a hybrid.

[AudiWxGuy]

oh la la

[Minglor]

damnit.
How?
I have a giac flash and if I cruise ~70 for my 25 mile trip to/from work I'm lucky if I hit 30...

[ImitationOfLife]

On my cruise to Chicago Wednesday night I averaged 35.6 mpg.

We won't tell anyone you were listening to "Walk Like an Egyptian"....

[AudiA4_20T]

honestly, the on screen computer is so off sometimes...

[AudiWxGuy]

What??? I think 145MPG is legit!

[rmh]

I averaged 29.11mpg round trip from Minneapolis to Washington DC and back (2228 miles) with A/C on 50% of the time at ~75MPH in my 3.2l A4 quatrro 6MT. Temps were 100 degrees with ~70% humidity in DC when I bugged outta there.

Since Audi specs this car out at 25mpg on the highway, I think ~20% higher actual mpg is a great thing.

After that trip, I took my car in for its 5000 mile service.

Those of you running 4 cylinder turbos should get much better mileage than that, and even better mpg if you've flashed your ECUs and made your power plants even more efficient.

Pffffht and I see in the newspaper sales on "high mileage" vehicles getting 28 -30 mpg for two wheel drive POSs.....

What's wrong with that picture!?

[johntesi]

We won't tell anyone you were listening to "Walk Like an Egyptian"....

I thought the exact same thing as soon as I saw that!!
As for gas mileage, I average about 320-350 to a tank but I do about 60/40 city/highway driving. I know when I do a longer drive (to North Dallas or Austin) on the freeway my average sits around 31 mpg. I'm sure I could do better but occasionally I can't resist the guy in the C230 thinking he's all that or the wide open on ramp.

[Phrost]

Oh yeah, well I bought a motorcycle last week and got 66mpg while beating on it in the city. I wiiinnnnnn
