Gas milage on stock ws6?

[terrytheexpert]

Well, what's everybody experiencing out there on gas milage on their ws6 as compared to a reg. T/A..with the national average getting close to $4.00 per galon by the end of the summer obviously this is a concern.

Compared to a regular T/A it should be almost exactly the same. When I just had no cats and exhaust I got 27.x mpg on the highway. Can't tell you city, as I never checked that when I lived in Jacksonville.

LS1= bad gas mileage, nothing else to be said, they sure are fun though!!

Are you kidding?
I get 27mpg hwy and 18 city. If you drive it like a reg car you get reg efficiency...u need to learn how to use the tq to your advantage.

how do you do that?

how do you do that?

..downshift into a gear that gets the rpms to a minumum without bogging the engine.

Here in Canada we are paying way over $5/gal for regular unleaded and even more for premium and super premium, however our gallons are slightly larger than in the US.

My WS6 makes great mileage. The window sticker states 31hwy 22city and I can verify I am making at least that but I am driving it very moderately and it only has about 8000 miles.

idk whats so terrible about them i have headers and no cats with 3.73's in a a4 not as much gas milage as m6 and still average about 18mpg in mine dd in the city so thats not to bad seeing how my gf gots a saturn and only gets about 23-24mpg driving the city lol

[suede]

easy 32-33 hiway once got 35 babying it with the wind at my back,never checked strictly in town milage.... exhaust and free mods is about it

[hutch1999]

i just averaged 23.5 mpg that was about a 50/50 mix of city and highway.not bad fo a bolt on ls1 m6

[freshadenamufcka]

i get about 300 miles to a full tank. if you divide that by the number of gallons the car can hold which is 16 then its about 18 mpg

[StuntmanMike]

I average about 23.5 with my stock A4, 2.73 gears.

As a general rule, A4 will get worse mileage than the M6.

If you drive with a light foot, and don't do too much stop and go city driving, you can get decent mileage with these cars.

Definitely go M6 if fuel mileage is a big concern.

I also seemed to get high 20's to low 30's in my 2002 Z28 with 60k miles.

My new 2002 WS6 does not have as good mileage yet, but it still has some time as it only has 8000 miles.

All vehicles should start to get better gas milage as all the seals and gaskets settle in and break in.

That is damn good gas mileage if you ask me, for a 3600lb vehicle with some balls.

If you purchase my LS1-Edit listed in my sig below you can even run a bit leaner to save more. Or tune for E-85 and save there. LOL JUST THOUGHT I'D MIGHT AS WELL THROW THIS IN THE MIX.

Went on vacation to South Carolina and back got 26.7 mpg. I thought that was pretty good. It's alot better than our 4-Runner 16mpg & our sts Cadillac 22mpg. It's not bad for a car to get 25-28mpg and go 150mph.

According to the window sticker on C5's between the A4 & M6, the M6 get 1 more mpg.

That's the same for the WS6!

[Zedicous]

This is also why my DD is a RSX-S that gets 28mpg around town.. Window sticker on my C5 says 25 highway.

[summy]

00 WS6 m6 stock and getting 28 highway 18 city and we still have to pay the gas guzzler tax, WTF!!!

In reality though, the M6's do better than that. Look at the numbers that people post on here. It has alot to do with driving habbits also.
