wrxkilla05 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 hey everyone im stage 2 and i thought that i was getting absolute crap for mileage so i filled up last week and reset the trip odometer to see how far i could go. i did some highway driving and for most of the time it said my avg. mpg was at least 24, 25.5 being the highest, and my light just came on as i hit 300 miles......am i just paranoid or should i be getting more miles out of my fillup? and i dont drive like an asshole either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Capacity Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I'm at stage one and have gotten 30 mpg at certain times. But last Fall I got a better (safer) map from Tuning Alliance and the best I can get is 27 or 28 for that same stretch of road. I still average 22.0-22.8 (on the dash) we know that lies for normal driving. I have 128,000 miles running 16 psi for the past year.Stage 1 since Dec 04 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

subiedad51 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I'm at Stage 2 and do a ton of highway driving. I usually get around 26 on the Highway and have gotten as high as 28. I typically get around 370 miles before I fill up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moncur_6 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 My average is around 24 with a fair amount of highway driving, but my driving/map is pretty agressive. I got 350 Miles out of one tank running on fumes after cruising at 95-130 through Nevada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinte77 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I drive mostly local and I get like 16-20 mpg on stage 2, so if I were you I wouldn't be worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I always get the feeling that when I drive an AT the fuel consumption is considerably higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJS5689 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I always get the feeling that when I drive an AT the fuel consumption is considerably higher. Then go drive a dual-clutch auto. They kick a manuals but in terms of fuel economy. OP: It depends on where/how I drive, but at stage 2 down here in southern NY I'm averaging 20-21.
