Smile New to the site! Picked up a White Z28

Whats up everybody. Iv been lurking around this site for quite a while now, so when i finnaly got me a ls1 camaro, I decided to join in on the fun. Im going to have a lot of questions because i know jack s**t about what im doing, so hopefully you guys can help me out .....

Well here she is. 1998 Z28 A4. Got her with 78K, She was BONE STOCK. The lady i got it from took amazing care of it. Even the white leather was clean. Anyways, thank for looking.

yeah something is not right. that is crap mileage. Maybe look into getting it tuned. You could also seafoam your engine. My buddys Transam got seafoamed and ran alot better afterwards. Just search "seafoam" and read about it.

my 01 is stock except a lid and catback. i religously check my mpg. on premium, i get 20.5 city/28.3 hwy. pretty much dead nuts to whats advertised.

check your roll, too. not just engine performance can hender fuel mileage. my ranger had a bad hub assembly. replaced that and improved 2-3 mpg

make sure your brakes aren't dragging also. Make sure you run good air pressure which can help a little bit.
