100% highway = 22-23 mpg

100% city = 11-12 mpg

70%-30% C/H = 12-14

man, for those of yall getting 30 + mpg in the highway, how in the **** do you do that?!? ALSO, what about you guys with 19-21 mpg in the city!?!?

no. 93s came with 2.73s for m6s. i'm not sure of the numbers on it but it's a factory m6 with the gu2 code. i guess it's pretty rare as 93 was the only year they came with 2.73s in an m6.

Here in Detroit the highway driving often means stop and go traffic (during the commute at least). I average about 265-285 miles per tank. However, I recently took a trip during which I could cruise in 6th for basically the whole tank. I was getting just under 27mpg.

120-150 miles per tank :/

Just seafomed the car...seems better so far for this tank.

also driving with the skinnies on seems to help.

The highway is easy....if I'm not in a hurry on the way to work (mostly highway miles aways), to control my right foot, I'll set the cruise to 65 and put my foot A W A Y from the gas!!! LOL

And the city is...you know....can't do much about that, just don't punch it EVERY time you're the first at the light.
