Default MPG for a 97 V6 3.8??

Anybody with a 3.8 V6 Firebird that can chime in on what kind of MPG they get, I do alot of city driving and gas is killing me. I found a V6 bird in good shape for cheap and wondering what kind of mileage your seeing in the city with your 3.8's.

I get about 16-17 in the city in my WS6 and i have to drive about 60 miles a day

The cost of the car would take years for you to see a difference. Buy a cheap 4cyl manual car or truck that gets 30mpg minimum, 2k$ tops.
