Re: What do u guys get for MPG?

I see 16-18.5 (with as low as 14.5) on average for a full-bolt on car with 4.10:1 gears and a six speed in town.

This is a '98 Z28.

I have seen as good as 26 mpg on the highway.

All of the people who claim over 20 in town, I'd like to see them drive because you could probably out accelerate them on a bicyle/ on foot.

Re: What do u guys get for MPG?

BEFORE LS1 Edit I was gettign about 12 MPG around town. @ $2.80/Gal =

Now, 15-18 around town. To hard HW #'s yet...

I highly recomend getting a tune. It free'd up 37 hp and get my gas mileage back!

I get around 15 in town and maybe 19-20 highway. '02 SS M6. I don't know how people get such tremendous mileage. I don't see much difference whether I drive easy or in the throttle.

Re: What do u guys get for MPG?

Low 18-22 around town, all depending on how I'm driving but I never drive totally easy. Average 27-28 higway. Best of 30 mph doing 85 mph (did get some higher speed action on that tank too).

Unlike BlackT/A's dad, My Wife's GAGT has gotten 32 mpg but averages 27-28 hwy also.

Also, isn't something wrong with your car though? I think you trapped really low, is that correct?

Yeah, I have had 2 T/A WS6s, a 2000 and a 2002 and neither has ever gotten better than 26 or so on the highway, but both averaged about 23 with combined in town and highway miles. Sorry, but I am very skeptical of these claims of 28-30.
