Default gas mpg w/ 6spd cam only

please give me real numbers folks. make sure after market gears arent throwing this off if the car isnt tuned yet.
this was a mix of highway/city.

pulled off 19.6, eh not so hot. the a/c was on the entire time though.

my car (sig) gets 26-7 mpg all freeway with the cruise set at 75. Approx 300-310 miles per tank all highway.

around town I am closer to 17-19 with around town and 200 +or- a few miles per tank.

For the people that are saying close to 30, I hope you mean highway cause if not then im calling extreme bullshit. I have a mail order tune on mine and I get around 16-18mpg driving normally and getting on it every now and then for the city. Highway I would say is between a respectable 24-26mpg driving around 80mph. Mods in sig

I normally get 23 - 25 on the highway. Recently though driving from Georgia to Louisiana I recorded 28.8 and was averaging about 80mph! I never really checked in town but it's probably around 17.

I believe we saw about 27mpg highway last time we drove to my parents house in SoCal. That was 80-90mph too.

Cam, full bolt ons, built T56, dyno tuned, stock gears.

stock rear
cam

around town 16-18

highway cruise at 75-80mph w/ ttops and windows down (no a/c) i get 24-25 consistently.


my city would actually be better if i had gears. i literally drive for a month without ever using 6th gear. i have to go 75miles before i'm on a road that allows >55mph (legally). and bogging down in traffic at 55mph in 6th is tough.
even with 373s i'd pick up 200rpms at 55mph and it would make it run much smoother.

so instead of running 5th gear at 50-55mph...i could easilly use 6th.
