28 Mpg????
Hey guys, I have a 95 Z w/ t-56. I did pace setter lt's, -cat, flowmaster 80 series(I know a 10 series on its way) Morroso intake, Hypertech programmer.
And I consistantly get 25-28MPG on the freeway. It also will run dead even with an 02 stock ls1 corvete. Is this a special Camaro, or are all Lt 1's just that bad ***. Just curious, thanks guys

My buddy got 32 highway coming back from Oregon. He said that's some of the best gas he's ever ran out on the west coast. Hig MPG got progressively worse when he got more towards home in MN.

Thanks for the feedback, I assumed that was the norm but it's good to hear. Makes me wonder what the new **** hole GT gets. I know that the first gen 4.6's got pretty shitty highway mpg. I had a buddys that got like 15, and dyno'd at 220 rwhp after every aftermarket bolt on you can buy. Pathetic

heh I like to shift my A4 around 3K I don't know if that's good or bad. But I don't like how soon it shifts on it's own. Shifts around 1.5 I think. And slips in then, not "goes" in like when I let it get more Rs for line pressure.
