1967 camaro ls1 mpg
so i finally got my car running a couple months ago and just been driving it here and there anyways i been getting 16mpg is that normal or what\
i got a stock 2001 ls1 off a TA ws6 6 speed with 3.73 gears in the rear the computer was just flash to delete rear o2's vats and emmission
do i need it to get it tuned or something let me know what you guys think i could do because i did this conversion to get at least 25mpg on the highway and i tried to calculate it and i been only getting 16 on the highway hitting 75-80mph under 2100 rpm

I have a CARB'd 5.3 and a GTO T56 with 3.73's (this works out to the same as a F-body T56 with 4.10's) and I get 18ish around town, and 23mpg on the highway even at 80mph
so yeah, I think something is a little off

I have that same problem. The LS1 powers are addictive. Having said that I manage 23 mpg average overall driving doing a minimum of at least one WOT launch ever outting. 3750 lb(with me in it) 60's box Stock LS1 4l60E 3.08 rear 1900 rpm at 70 mph.

I have stock 99 LS1 with a LS6 intake, Headers, 2 1/2 Flowmaster exhaust system, 4.11 rear, 275.40.17 tires, with a Viper T56 and at Highway speds of around 70+mph I get around 23mpg. this is with tach'in around 2k (65mph = 1750rpm)
I would say you either need to keep your feet off of both the brakes and gas pedals or get a tune.. no reason you should be in the 20's..
good luck.

You need a good tune....and a lighter foot....I'm at almost 24..actually 23.6 when I checked Saturday...put my foot in it once or twice....haven't really long hauled it on the highway yet. 3:55 rear on a 25 inch tall tire...70MPH at 2200 rpm......3200 pound car.
