[s-cars] Extremely Good Gas Mileage

[Calvin & Diana Craig]

It is interesting to me how wildly these figures vary.  I have checked my
odometer against the mileage markers over 2 very long stretches of road and
mine is actually the reverse of yours, I got 102.5 miles of travel per 100
miles of indication.  I thought my weekend mileage was anomalous, but I
guess others have gotten similar figures.  Since mine was round trip it does
take out a general downhill or uphill trend as well as wind aids.

I find it very hard to believe these cars get anything close to 30mpg,
chipped or not. My 1994 S4, chipped only gets high teens at best, during
winter, slighter higher in summer and i have a fairly light foot on
acceleration. One factor no one has thrown in was how accurate your speedo
is. My MPG is calculated via GPS, something which is far more accurate than
any speedo. Typically, my odometer shows 103 miles per 100 actual miles
traveled and this number has varied by as much as 1.5 miles. Not that that
is going to throw my numbers off too far. Just something to consider.
