What's the most mileage you have been able to get out of a tank?

This is my highest mileage. At 67 mph on cruise control, all highway at 100-mile interval trips with 2 or 3 stops in between, and 9-mile trips to the office at speeds of 60-65 mph. I usually average 520-530 per tank under same cirmunstances as above but with a few sports driving situations like when passing or putting the car to the test on nice winding roads.

As my signature states, I drive a 3.2

Mileage is an interesting subject to all of us but some of you that post don't say if you are driving a 2.0 or 3.2

I'm getting an average of 22.8 MPG City/Highway out of my 2.0t.

This is meaningless to us unless you state what engine and what speeds you were averaging.

I never run mine all the way to the bottom for obvious reasons. But I've gotten a calculated 26.9MPG on a long drive(~300 miles). Doing roughly 70-75 the whole time, and with small stretches of in-town driving and some spots of low speed afternoon traffic. The car has 10k miles. The same car gets 19-20MPG with purely local driving.

Those of you that are getting around 30MPG on the 3.2 and 2.0T, what speeds are you driving at on the highway?

Just returned from a 300 mile Round trip & got 30.9 MPG.
Very happy with that.

Sorry, was driving 95% on highway at average of 74-75MPH. 2.0T engine. I bought my car in TN but live in FL. The dealer filled the tank to the brim when he gave me the keys (I know it was full as he filled it in front of me!).

I did not require an A/C for most part but used it in stretches.

I refueled after 450 miles and put in 16.3 gallons which when prorated using 19.8 gallon tank it approximates to 550miles/tank! @27.6mpg which is what everyone averages on the highway.

2012 2.0T Prem + with 15k miles. I'm averaging 23.5 MPG and I drive 80 miles a day round trip 95% highway. Either I'm an aggressive driver or you guys are all FoS with your MPG claims.

Went to the coast yesterday. 4 ppl in the car. 2 kids and 2 adults. Had to go over some hills. No highway driving. Went with the traffic, not much room to pass cars on back roads. Pushed it a few times to pass some cars when I could. ~190 miles round trip. Computer was showing average 30.5 mpg for the whole trip. Not too bad.

i totally agree with you....

The computer can be wrong, on my 3.2 it was a good +2mg off.
