Default Hit the big 30(mpg's)...
On the way home from the pypes car show, 60-65 mph(in a group with some older musclecars). 171 miles...5.7 gal...30 mpg's. Gotta love these 6-speed T/A's

@Roidz

Fuel efficient

670whp

Choose one

Also, it doesn't matter what your MPG is when you get there in 8 seconds.

Haha I just said it would be nice. I don't really mind, I'll choose the hp any day.

LOL...and it only happens on a rare, slow, highway cruise. But it is cool that a stock 325hp WS6 can hit 30 mpg at any time.

I only took the car out twice so far and ended up getting 21mpg with mixed city and highway.

All the LS1 cars are closer to 350. At least 340hp from a bone stock non WS6.
