Can any car besides the Tesla achieve 27 combined mpg 350HP/370tq?

Late model GM v8s

So one car having bad gas mileage makes you blind to all the others lol?

A modified mk7 GTI can achieve that easily.

Talking combined and highway , Can it beat both 27-28 combined and 32 mpg highway at 358/hp 378ft lb tq?> with a ECU tune only?

Would you buy a STI vs a type r? That engine is 10 years old. Personally id wait or buy a different car that has more HP/TQ and better gas mileage.

Not ECU tune only. Need supporting mods.

Golf Rs make 370 whp and 383 ft-lbs on 93 octane, flash alone. 26 combined. Not too shabby for AWD.

GTIs will be north of 300 whp but fall short of your target... still on pump gas on stage 1. They should meet your mpg goal.

Stock Mercs and Porsches can do it.

You keep trying to pick the worst options lol! GTI, golf R, used c7 grand sport, c6 z06, so many options with similar mileage

Saw this on the Golf R owners forum.. Owner states 24mpg , and clutch will slip eventually with a stage 1 . for 10-15k more for the golf R seems like a bad investment.

They would void the warranty by tuning it, it just depends if they turn a blind eye to it when they need to do warranty work or not. Some dealers are friendly to tunes, some are not. You're mileage may improve slightly but only by 1-2 mpg at the most. You'll actually probably see it go down a little bit since you'll have a lot of fun staying in the power band.

Your clutch will likely begin to slip after some time on that tune. VW only warranties the clutch to 10k miles and only for manufacturing defects. You'll want to consider that the cost to replace your clutch with an upgraded one can cost upwards of 2k including installation.

If that's true, that's awesome. I have the same setup with tune and love the changes, but gas mileage has been tough to get above 24 average.

My clutch however is slipping. Not bad, but noticed within 2 weeks of upgrading to stage 1.

this car barely breaks 20mpg combined /25 mph highway

I would agree highway mileage is just as good, but city driving is terrible on a V8. lets talk apples to apples.
Turbo 4 cylinder vs Turbo 4 Cylinder

So far i have not been convinced at anyone postings except a Golf R which at a Stage 1 but owner states bad gas mileage 22-24mpg combined and clutch slipping after 2 weeks with just a ECU tune.

Sorry if I sound ignorant, but how do you guys determine the overall MPG? Doesn't the one recorded in the infotainment differ per drive session?

Full up your tank , reset your gas millage on the dash , take an average after a few tanks of gas , you should know your city and highway mpg.

since i know i drive 50/50 city and highway during my commutes and my gas hangs around 27-28mpg in sport/R and highway if i see it go up in comfort after 50 miles would be a good indicator what your overall highway MPG is at.

My highways are mostly 65-75mph so this might be a difference as well , where as in california you could run into issue in traffic or bad drivers holding up lanes as someone has mentioned. In colorado its the law to stay to the right if you are not passing and people mostly go 5-10mph over the speed limit lol. I have been on highways in VA at 55mph and omg people cant drive there , i would not consider your highway mpg unless you know you can drive 50-75 miles with uninterrupted traffic but you should have a good idea of your mpg after owning your car for awhile by looking at your dash.

Quite the leap in logic there. Just throwing an example out there.
