I was thoroughly disappointed. Should it jump back up? I gunned it just a handful of times the last tank. I do about half city/highway driving.

I used the trip meter to determine how many miles I went before I filled up again.

I am getting 20-22 mpg running rich after my header install. That would suck to get around 17 mpg.
Since you just bought the car I would change out the plugs and fuel filter. You never know when the previous owner did those things.

I can get 300 mi to the tank mostly hwy.... I think the most ive gone was 330 mi... comes out to about 22 mpg....
So not bad, but its strange how some LS1s only get around 18-20mpg while others are getting near 30mpg

Going from stock manifolds and 2.73's to headers, 3.42's and no tune helped my mileage I was getting 22 mpg, I usually get 21.5. I haven't driven my car in over 2 weeks, though. Going through withdraw That's with a city/highway mix.
