That is with 3.42's and driving easy 1-3-5 shifts in the city and 70-5 cruise on the highway. Mashing the loud pedal drops it considerably.

Ive never heard of a stock ls1 gettin 23mpg in the city, much less a h/c ls1. doesnt sound right...but if u are gettign that, heres to u My stock WS6 gets 24 all city when I am mostly easy on it. vette is a couple hundred pounds less so that seems doable. One of the biggest reasons I bought this car was for the performance/gas mileage combination.
People always react funny when I tell them I bought my car for gas milage too. 
Which, I actually did.
When Jason99t/a's red car was making 470 at the rear tires, it was getting over 30 mpg on the highway. That's hands down the most impressive mpg # I've ever heard of. It's also the result of hours and hours of drivability tuning on his car.

Tuned by LG Motorsports, 10-15 city depending on my right foot. 30-34.5 mpg on the highway using cruise control 6th gear @ 80 mph. A lot depends on how clean my air filter is, the VaraRam sucks in everything and requires the filter to be cleaned quite often to maintain maximum air flow. My ud pully and electric water pump made the biggest difference on my gas mileage. 2 tanks of gas to go 1200 miles and had about 2 to 2 1/2 gallons in the tank when I got home from Lg Mototsports.

I know someone will start calling bs, so I will say this, I drove back on April 1 st 2006 and virtually never had to hit the breaks. I used the cruise control and never got caught in slower moving traffic. Most of the drive was at night with little or no traffic. Drove straight through. Barely made it without falling asleep.
