Arrow How many MPG are you guys getting?

I did the calculation on mine and it loks as though I am only getting 13.11 MPG. Mods in signature.... Does this sound right?
I have running the cut-out open the whole period as well.

All interstate driving i usually hit upwards of 360 miles to a tank with a 13.5 gallon refill, so about 27mpg there.

In the city i usually hit about 220miles to a tank, so about 16-17 there.

Not too shabby for a 350

P.S.-i've had this car for about 2 years and for some odd reason i find that i get about 2mpg better using 87 octane vs 93. Funky

I get around 300 miles to the tank before I fill up. It works out to average around 20 mpg.

bolt on car, 150,000 miles, 3.73 gears, turbo 350 trans (no overdrive) and a art car 3600 converter. kepping it to around 60-65 on the expressway keeps the revs down. I get 15-16. when i had a overdrive and lock up 2800 converter and 3.23 gears i only got 20-21. ??????????, yeah, im just as confused as everyone else. hope this helps, prorac1.

I keep a running tally and my M-6 has averaged 19 mpg since I got it in 2000. My road record was just under 30.

70% city driving I get ~18 mpg... I usually let the trip meter read 230 miles before finding a gas station. We all know how the needle likes to drop like a rock after the first half tank.

In the city, automatic cars dont seem to do as well as with gas milage at all compared to the M6's.

Getting on the freeway, it's somewhere around 0.5 mpg. Around town, I got 14, and on the freeway I have gotten 24.

Sounds like some of you guys are getting some pretty good miles to the gallon. My driving is 50/50 with an A4 also. I'll get on it every once in a while but not that often. Well I guess I'll be seeing what it is next time around.
