Thanks Mongoose, I was just wondering because someone said that they were seeing around 350 stock in a t-top car bone stock, I thought that was a high estimate.

I just bought my car from Georgia this weekend and drove 1400 miles back home. It's a 1998 z28 6spd vert with 400+ rwhp and I averaged 23 mpg @ 80 mph.

My 99 TA averaged between 25-27 mpg on my trip to florida last year. Its an automatic with 2:73 gears with loudmouth, FRA, lid, and EGR cut mods only at the time. I averaged 70-80 mph during the trip.
