I don't even bother to calculate it anymore, it's not my DD so when I do drive it i'm in the throttle pretty hard, needless to say I can't wait untill spring!!

Have ya'll ever heard of 90 to 110 miles on a tank? Or more importantly how to fix it? It's a 86,000 mile DD LS1 auto with 3.23's, 4400 stall (flashes to over 53), cammed with headers and gmmg. Tuning was done by TSP. I don't drive the car hard at all because the tranny is going out. (I'm waiting on my tax return) When I was in Lubbock I talked to Jason about it and he was completely blown away, saying him nor Trevor had ever heard of an f-body getting that bad of mileage.

i can easily get less than 100 miles on a tank. i guess its a characteristic of having a relatively loose converter, it really doesnt do much before 3000rpms...i mean it moves, but it builds rpms much quicker than it builds speed so it usually ends up at 3000 on every take-off anyway...i think i'm hovering around 150 miles on a tank though...

Oh I KNOW I can go thru a tank in 100 miles or less, but I'm on a little bit bigger motor then I think most of you guys are on with a ton more compression and a cam alot bigger then a trex....... I know that's the reason.

13 mpg in highway mode. That's with cam, Yank PY3400, 3.73s, and Procharger. In summary, my mpg is very bad.

I can get 18-19 mpg on the hwy cruising around 60-70 mph. I have 3.73's with a Yank PT4000. Combined city and hwy is consistent 15 mpg.
