What kind of MPG are you getting?
I'm curious to know what my fellow F-body owners are getting averaged miles per gallon-wise with their cars. I see between 20 and 24 MPG with the 'vertible.

With the TA I have been getting usually around 22 - 24mpg, consisting of about 50/50 hwy city.
I got a little over 28 with the tops off, AC on and cruise set at about 80mph with a few triple digit runs every now and than on a drive over to Yakima. Kind of curious to see what it does with some exhaust mods and intake mods.
M6 TA also.

Big thanks to everybody that replied. I'm doing some development on "fuel saver" programming and this information is helpful to benchmark my car against.

Vince,
A couple years ago when I had the hot cam + bolt-on 5.7 in my car I was getting 24 mpg on the hwy & about 17 in town. With my blower + 6.6L I get about 15 in town, but haven't taken it anywhere for a long hwy cruise to check that. I think it gets around 18 tho. This is all with custom tunes.

I have been able to hit about 26 MPG with the stuff I have done so far, which is in the range of "stock MPG" for some other cars, but mine is an A4, and maybe the convertible is a disadvantage due to the drag it creates at higher speeds (and the car is heavier). You should hear that thing flapping at the end of the drag strip. ;-)
