I was getting about 25MPG on the highway running 80-85MPH and about 15 MPG through the city and about 19-20 mixed. This was with a 6-speed with 3:89 gears shifing at 2000RPM's through the city.

with a mediocre part throttle tune, stock rear gears and the Torquer V1...
highway (several 300mile trips) i get 25/26mpg going 75-80 with the windows down and ttops off
where i live there is minimal "city" driving, but max speed is 55mph with most of it being 45mph. lots of short <5mile trips. with that driving i see about 18mpg
on other trips with 2 different 4th gens...i've seen a consistent 1mpg loss of mileage running with the windows down and ttops off on the highway. so windows up and ttops on...highway would probably be 26/27 easy.

Tune, transmission, gears and most of all, driving habbits will greatly influence mpg. I'm running 3.73's, 30lb SVO's, ported 241's and a 232/238 cam on an M6 trans. If I "behave" I can get 25-26 mpg pretty easily on the highway (if not more) and maybe 20-22 around town.

Just read my sig............ No BS either as long as you set the cruise at 80 mph in 6th gear, 34.5 mpg actual not on the instant readout. Wiley, TX to Metro Detroit, MI on 2 tanks of gas. Over 7 hrs of driving per tank, and had gas left, (not much) when I pulled into my garage.
