I drove my MS3 cammed/bolt on T/A 585 miles to North Carolina this past March and back. Car avereged 26MPG on the highway doing 75-85 the whole way. Around town im not sure, its not too good though, not due to the car though, but the driving.

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.

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.
