Good gas mileage
I just ran out my first tank of gas in my 98 Z28 M6 and got 278 miles on a full tank of premium gas. This was a mix of 40% city and 60% highway. I feel very good about this.

I have been able to get 400+ miles out of a tank...of course that was a trip from Illinois to Minnesota and I got just under 33 mpg on that tank. With 70% city and 30% highway I ussually get about 18-21mpg so roughly 260-300 miles per fill up.

I used to get 18-20mpg with 80+% highway and 20% city. But now with age and the new fuel with 10% ethanol, I get 12.5-14.5mpg with 80% city and 20% highway.

Looks like pretty good numbers for most of you guys... I am new to a stick performance car had a S10 stick b4 and there is a difference... I will get the hang of it in no time though... I am going to drive it from St.Louis to Atlanta after I change all the fluids and get new belts and hoses.
