2.8 30v Tip Owners...How many miles are you getting out of a tank of gas on average???
|
I'd have to check my spreadsheet but anywhere from 18-23mpg, I don't do full tank #s
I did get better mpg once I did the change from a stock to a modded MAF. I later did the GIAC engine chip and recently the tip-chip. I'll have to see if there is any change in those #s. I doubt they are worse than stock though...and I feel a difference on my butt-dyno.

I was getting 15.8 then I bought one of those torando things off of eBay and now I get a little over 16. Still ****ty gas mileage though..

WOW... lots of non-highway driving?
I have a crappy commute, followed by some better highway driving (only about 30% of my overall driving), but I get about 18-19 MPG even with mostly city driving.
I drive a manual, if its worth anything. You mileage seems really, really low. |
just under 375 per tank almost all city

FWD A4 30v Tip: 20-22mpg city/hwy, 29mpg hwy @ 70mph, 26mpg @ 80-90mph

is it worth to get GIAC engine chip for 2.8V6 auto? can you see diff in acceleration?
should I get any of them?
1)GIAC engine chip(10HP) for 2.8V6 right? can you see diff in acceleration? 2)what about TIP chip? I also get like 19.5MPG 80high way/20city --any suggestions where I should check (I have VAG,but dont know where to check)??? Thanks |
I think so (more)
I like the GIAC chip on a 2.8 Tip. I haven't done any before/after timed runs so I can't be sure if it makes it much faster. The butt-dyno tells me it pulls 'better'. I don't notice a flatspot in the power curve anymore.
If you drive aggressively, then the tip-chip is the way to go. Makes the car shift much more 'sporty' I am happy with my choices, heck they were only $500'ish. |
I get around 320, but since my cat converter started breaking up...around 275

I have 01 2.8 Manual and average 22MPG - crappy
