Depends a lot with the TC and gear combination. When I was stock and had 2.73, I would get ~30mpg on the highway and ~22 mpg around town.

My car is still completely untuned...I lost 1 mpg from my header install which I did first.

I was getting 17-18 stock. With the headers I dropped to 16-17. With the converter I can still make 16-17 driving easy.

The only real results you can take anything from are people's numbers from before and after the converter install on their very own car. With everyone living in different places, everyone is going to have different mileage figures from their vehicle. Comparing Car A which is stock to Car B with a high stall converter and noticing the lower mileage means practically nothing.

im at about 17mpg highway with a 4000 stall, heads and cam, and 3.42's. i noticed most with my gear change. with my 2.73's i would only get a best of maybe 22-24 with midlength headers and 3800 stall. i could probably improve to 19mpg with a better tune
