Why the varying MPGs?
I too wonder why some get the normal rated 21mpg (like me) while others boast 28 or even 35.
I wonder how much difference in mpg there is between the A1, A4, and A6? And how much mpg is saved if you have AC or not?
And another factor is which body you have. I bet the wagons get less than the sedans, and the sedans get less than the coupes.
I imagine a single driver who drives mostly to work and back on the freeway with no family, driving a well-maintained dx coupe A1 with no AC probably gets way better MPG than say, a family driver (like me) who hauls around 4 people in an A6 EX Sedan, barely maintained, mostly city stop and go driving, with AC, and a full trunkload of crap in the back at all times.
I wonder if any of that really makes much difference.
I'd definitely like to get my 21mpg up closer to 30mpg. I do know when my timing was advanced I only got 19mpg. Setting it back to stock put me back at 21mpg.

Good tire pressure, good alignment (and often), and an easy throttle. Get to the top gear as quick as you can, don't go over 60-65, even on the highway. Draft if you feel safe doing it.

I get around with around 20 mpg, I'm satisfied cuz I haven't worked on car since the beginning of time. I still get better mileage than my friend's 240. Well Like everyone else said, keys are the filters and tire pressure and tires too.

re
Yeah those are some vital factors. I mean if you have a car load of people, 50-60lbs of junk in your trunk, and the AC going, driving through town, you proably woudlnt get very good mileage. And bad tire pressure would play into that as well. Me I only have maybe one passenger who weighs about 110 lbs. And my AC doesnt work. So that plays into my rating. I also have a 5 speed and do alot of highway driving too.1995 Ford Taurus SHO 5 speed-DD and stockish

If you are really anal about your mpg, you can get thin tires which gives you less rolling resistance but less traction. Weight reduction...start from let's say that cheese burger you will have lol
^ I wish my passengers are 110lbs, you must have a very hot gf eh

re
Yeah I kinda got off topic, but yeah pretty hot. 5'1'' weight in the right places. But for mpg you could also add some minor bolt on mods as well. Or a tune up. Intake and catback usually help your mpg on gas. At least in my experiences anyway.1995 Ford Taurus SHO 5 speed-DD and stockish

My car is a 91 CB7 with f22A9 engine. On my last interstate trip I kept careful track of consumption and driven sensibly at legal speeds (my wife was with me!) saw a worst of 40mpg going to Queensland, and a best of 42mpg coming back to N.S.W. Part of the difference might be that Qld is uphill toward the equator, and N.S.W. is downhill away from it! These figures are converted from the metric (litres per 100km) using US gallons, and uncorrected odometer readings.
The real reasons are that the engine is well maintained and in great condition (depite having just cleared 250,000 km, and still uses no oil!), the f22A9 has a higher compression ratio than your f series engines (which gives a more efficient fuel burn than lower compression), it's a manual gearbox runing synthetic 'Motul' oil, the toe alignment is accurately set (by me with stringlines) at zero / zero, and I run high tyre pressures (38 front / 45 rear, strange psi reflecting what the different tyres fitted (cheap) need to perform acceptably, sidewalls too soft, especially the Falken Ziex 329's on the rear, a truly crap tyre).
Oh, and I also have a CAI fitted, which may or may not help.Last edited by johnl; 12-30-2007, 12:39 AM.Regards from Oz,

45mph is considered the most efficient speed for fuel mileage. Go easy on the throttle, shift as early in the rpm range as possible and put it in neutral when coming to a stop if you're in a manual. Change your oil every 3000-5000 miles, keep up on your regular maintenance and keep your tire pressures up. Reduce weight whenever possible (don't carry an assload of gear in the car) and make sure the car is properly aligned and the tires are wearing properly.
Just to give you an idea of how much mileage can vary, on my last tankful I averaged 26.5mpg, and this tank I'm pretty sure I'm averaging closer to 32. This is probably explained by the fact that I had a pretty bad slow leak in my right front tire that I just had taken care of. (Leaking past the corner of the wheel weight, was going from 32psi to 0 in 24 hours.)~If everybody you knew jumped off a bridge...the bodies would pile high enough to break your fall if you jumped after them.~

intake...seafoam...it's an lx, so I don't think you have rear disc brakes, but..incase you do, I'd check 'em. I lifted my back wheels off the ground, and without an E-brake, I could loosen the lug nuts. They were rubbin' pretty bad. Ever see if it has a thermostat? They were always wonderin' why my moms car ran cold, and sucked gas, and come to find out.....had no thermostat. Car runs cold = More gas to the engine. If it's that bad on gas, it's gotta be held up somewhere. Seafoamin' could be a good idea. It could be anything man. haha But make sure none of your brakes are rubbing. And make sure you don't drive on the highway and stuff in 3rd gear. Ex used to do that shit.98' Mustang 3V Swap

Is it me, or half of these ratings are on crack?
Posting your best, worst is pretty much pointless, avg is what matters.
I used to have a cb7 4dour lx, it got around ~360mpg,(Intake, Headers, nothing else)
My current car, cb7 coupe ex, gets around 350 mpg, constantly(nothing but exhaust on it)
This is mostly city driving too, and I like to push it a lot.

Comparisons with statements like 'get 400 miles from a tank full' are pointless because the variables from one person's tank full to another person's are too great to make the comparison meaningful (even one person's different fill ups will be less than equal).
