my low fuel light usually comes on after about 250 miles of driving, so that would be 13 gallons/250 miles= 19.2 mph, half city/highway

When I was stock I would see around 400 on the highway

drove mine across the country. torquer V.2, 9" with 4.11's and bolt on's. averaged around 27 on the highway. Around here I can't really keep track because when I take it out I don't stay out of the throttle a whole lot. It's not to much different than the '01 around town and it's stock except for headers, lid and catback.

Mods below...H/C/I/3.90's/etc.

21 on the highway is pretty common and my city mileage is typically around 12 - 13 mpg.

Stock V6 10.9 last fill up city. Never taken it on the highway. People need to stop bitching because you get 15mpg city in a 550hp car, some of us aren't so lucky. Not you guys, but in another MPG thread people were doing this.

I think the computer is bad, I can't get any readings from it and my car lacks alot of power compared to other V6's I have driven.

Letting my car warm up to get the valvesprings up to temp kills my gas though. I can see the needle falling when I'm sitting in the driveway. I do romp on it a little since it's a weekend cruiser. I'd have to say my city MPG is something rancid like 9 MPG. Expressway driving (rare) still gets fairly descent because of the 6 spd and stock 3:42s. Last year I went 300 miles round trip to the Trans Am Nationals and only used 3/4 of a tank from a top off full tank. You know, where the needle doesn't budge off of F for the first 50 miles then falls like you just sprung a leak in your tank.

Completely stock i dont think i have ever seen more than 21, freeway or city, i have never cruised for the whole 300 mile tank, somewhere in there i decide to step on it for a few miles, usually offsets me, end up around 18 or 19 mix of highway/street.

I don't think there's anything wrong with your car. I think alot of people don't know how to calculate miles per gallon. Either that or they're airing their tires up to 37lbs My car never got more than 22 I believe bone stock.
