Highway I’ll get about 30, but I take the back roads to work now since they’re more twisty and my mileage takes a shit cause of it.

Yeah. Looking at some of the answers of people with the diesel VWs and they’re saying they get like 45.

Even the 1.4t can get pretty close to 45 highway. And those are selling for close to nothing now....

A little more than 300 miles to a 26 gallon tank,

It gets 12.8 highway or city, It doesn’t matter if i drive 60 or 90

The lowest i ever got on road was 7 mpg

Haven’t taken my GTI on an extended highway trip but in the short highway runs I’ve done I saw about 36 mpg, 2016 GTI. My E30 Touring returned 31 mpg over a five hour highway stint. Not bad for a 27 year old, straight six wagon.

04/19/2016 at 20:33

My G35 Coupe? EPA says 24 highway and I’d say closer to 21-23 in reality. Having a 20 gallon tank helps a bit.

The Audi is unknown because I don’t drive it much at all. I knowww it sucks in city. 15-16ish.

2006 Mercury Mariner, 24mpg at interstate speeds and slightly higher at rural highway speeds. My 2005 Mustang GT used to get up to 30 on rural highways. Such is aerodynamics and gearing.

04/19/2016 at 20:35

11 or less. If I just drive some back roads, I can touch 12-13. Commuting though nets me what I guess to be 10-11. I have no odometer but doing the math, I get like 180 miles to a tank, and it’s a 17 gallon tank...

CLs are lighter than TLs. That helps.

Please buy ours cars desperation, with the TDIs out of the lineup they have nothing else to attract people with how meh the rest of the lineup is.

The last time I had my TDI in for service I walked around the lot to see what gas engined car I would go for if my TDI magically gets bought back. The answer is the GSW with the DSG since you can’t get the 6 speed with the gas engine. I’m honestly hoping if they do a buyback I can just walk away...right to the Subaru dealer.

1997 Chevy Blazer 4.3 4at: 10.7L/100km, or 22 US MPG

‘98 M3 5AT gets 28-30 usually. I used to complain about bad gas mileage but it turns out I was just driving way more than I thought I was and the car is actually killing it on the mpg front.

‘94 Safari 4.3 4AT gets... About 10. Mostly because you have to basically floor it to maintain highway speed unless you're on totally level surfaces.
