Mine stock driving mostly thru way about 13 miles each way i think i get 20mpg in 6th gear @60mph, but its also with shitty traffic on the thruway not driving more then 30 at some points. I thought it was from being in 6th gear at 55-60mph which is under like 1,500rpm. that could be too much load at that RPM you think? I do have the K&N SLP Air lip smooth bellow thingy too. thanks.

Everytime this question is brought up, why do people like to give the gas mileage they got on a crosscountry trip with few stops and good conditions? I never understood it. That isnt they way that you drive the car most of the time. Not that I care, and not that this thread is as bad as most, but I was just wondering??? When people ask what is your MPG, the typical response is, "I got 32 MPG on a trip from Wyoming to Kansas........."
Keep up the posts! This thread is re-inspiring a change from an import to an LS1!

with mods in sig i have yet to determain gas milage, its goingto be a lil less esp since mines almost all city.
i get @ 200 miles per tank, but i never let it got less then 1/4 tank ever!. im not hard on it all the time but when i am im all throttle or nothing. i figure city im getting mabey 14 ~ 15 on highway i was getting closer to like 22~23
3.73 gears and 3400 stall arent made for mpg in the city!

~15mpg city only
~29-31mpg highway
the foot can affect those numbers GREATLY. i think my tune is pretty rich though...i'm about to stick on some heads and a re-tune so we'll see where it goes from there...
