3.42s: 18 city, 29 highway
4.10s: 13 city, 22 highway
lol, when i had 3.42s my ricer buddies couldn't believe that i was getting just as good gas milage and was making about twice as much power as them.

You will see little decrease in fuel economy...Sometimes they can actually help imo...
Coming back from alabama to St. Louis, at 65mph the entire way, Bolt ons and 4:10's. and the last 50 miles of the tank, I had some city driving mixed in. I ended up getting 29.9 mpg.
And thats in a LT1.
Not bad for a car that bone stock is rated for 26mpg highway...

Vettes are lighter then our fable fbodies, you'll see better mpg. I get around 10-13mpg(driving 2000 rpm in 4th) around town here i must see atleast 30 forms of stoplights and stop signs on way to and from work and I only live 2 miles from work.
on a side note who gives a **** its a SPORTS CAR.
