[s-cars] Ideas to Increase mpg?

[Tony Curran]

Oil of choice might help a bit. I use Total Quartz 5W40 (Elf rebranded).
Clean the fuel injectors. O2 sensor. 

Cheers,

Thanks Wylie.  I have run my car dry and put almost 20 gallons in it.  :ooks
like my driving habits are to blame.  I try to do 7- but that only lasts for
a day or two...

Dave my S4 is stock and in all highway driving I can pull 450-460 miles out
of a tank. More if I take it seriously easy.  That's about 25 mpg assuming
an 18g tank. 
On the drive back from CA to NC I got 500 miles out of two tanks full.

I did a 7 month search in the archives and did not see a thread related to
fuel mileage.

I am keeping my B5 S4 as a secondary car and am currently doing some
upgrades to it.  My recently purchased S6 is doing dd duty.  I have a 60
mile round trip each day and at 20 mpg, I could stand better fuel mileage.
I do 55 of the 60 miles on the open highway.

I was thinking of selling the C4 and buying a TDI (saving ~$100/month) but I
just don't think I will enjoying driving it everyday (Probably a 99-02
Jetta).  I also am considering a 1.8T A4.  But, I figure if I can get the
mileage better in the S6 then I will just keep it.  I'd love to get over 25
mpg but I don't know if it is even possible.

Step 1 - go from CRAP (TAP) ECU to stock.  Then what?  

No matter what I do I know I will be rolling on the power from time to time.
It seems like you can never get that mileage back over a tankful.

Respectfully,
Kase
