How about 2 gallons per mile? That's about what my SS gets. Of course it only sees track runs

i've been seeing over 20 mph on the highway with the 9" with 4.10 gears and no tuning, the car is running really fat right now, so i bet it'll get better when its tuned soon.

haven't paid attention to any city mileage. car isn't out a ton, i just watched the mileage going to the track on the highway last weekend.

Before head/cam/intake/gears ... average was 23.5 to 24.5 mpg with best of 32.8 mpg on trip

After head/cam/intake/4.10 gears ... average is 21.5 to 23.5 mpg with best of 26.5 mpg but no long trips yet.

Car has mail order tune.

Overall for my average driving the car seems to have lost 1.5 mpg on average (24 mpg vs 22.5 mpg) I tend to get on it more and sometimes mpg slips to 20mpg.

Stage II heads/B1 cam through high flow cats at 432rwhp and 398rwtq. I got 31mpg to 33mpg on several occasions. I drove the WS6 from Colorado to Arizona 4 or 5 times and would see consistant low 30mpg range numbers at 90mph and 6th gear. I attribute it to the lower air desity at altitude and the fact I had the factory 3.42s. I could only get upper 20mpg figures on the highway in Arizona. If I stayed out of it, I would get 17 to 21mpg in town.
