I used non-reformulated gas and topped off the tank.

I did most of the driving no faster then 65mph (very painful in and of itself!, except for 70 miles at 75mph). I did one long trip (160 miles), two short (20 mile or so) trips, and a final trip of about 280 miles.

When I stopped for gas, I had 491 miles on the trip odometer, and 20 miles of range left.

On the 280 mile jaunt, I got an amazing 35.1 mpg. During the 280 miles, I came to a full stop only 5 times, otherwise it was all straight highway driving. I minimized all braking, and got lucky in that the few small towns I drove through I hit all of the lights green. Half of the driving was on two lane roads, the other half on the interstate.

I have a 2003 A4 quattro 1.8T automatic with no mods.

When I got gas, the range was 560 miles. I took a picture when I got home showing 550 miles left (attached) on range, and the 35.1 mpg I achieved.

Now that i've done it though, I won't do it again. Driving 65mph it took me an extra hour!

Our cars are pretty good on gas even when modded.

Merkin

yes

EBG 18T [Eric]

i am happy with 325-345 miles per tank. And at that point i'm driving with the empty tank light on.

I got 700km on a tank of gas once - Banff AB to Abbortsford BC.

Rob02a4

my average of approx. 18mpg. Anything to improve that and still drive like a race car?

MRSK

Yes, it is possible. I have done 825km (~500miles) on one tank. Highway driving, no stop.

i get about that much in mixed driving...500mi is only a dream for me!
