13-17 city, depending on how nice I am to it...Could probably get even higher, but I can't go that long without touching the gas, lol

Coming home from US41, I got 32mpg cruising 75-80 most of the way (some city driving in that though, but only a couple miles). Stabbed 4th til 90 or so at one point, but only to pass someone.

This is with the stock 3.42 gears. Haven't installed the 12-bolt just yet, should be very soon just in time to drive the car into storage.

I'm the same way, ever since I got my DD I can't seam to keep my foot from being burried in the gas when i get in my Trans Am. At first I thought there was something wrong after looking at my trip meter, then I realized how much harder i drive it now.

I was wondering if you guys are quoting mileage from the instant readout display, or the miles on the trip meter divided by the number of gallons to fill up?? I use the number of miles on the trip meter divided by the number of gallons to fill up. The instant mileage display is very generous, but not accurate at all. Just wondering? BTW my 34.5 mpg after a fill up had an instant mileage of around 39-40 mpg most of the time. Anyone else notice this??

Us F-body owners don't have any fancy instant MPG displays. Just a really fancy DIGITAL odometer.

I barely squeaked 21 mpg on the hwy when my car was stock with 3.23's. I can't see how you're getting 24 mpg with a h/c car and 3.73's. How many miles do you average per tank?
