Default Mileage

What sort of fuel economy is everyone getting out of their LS1's? I've been getting around 22 mpg lately when I'm easy on it. Mods are SLP lid, K&N filter, HPP3, SLP LM.

I get horrible mileage, 16-17 MPG, but I'm not exactly easy on the throttle. I also do a lot of city / heavy traffic driving. However, I have gotten 23.6 with all freeway driving.
