Mods in sig.
Currently 15-17 city if I am being nice, sometimes I even do the 1st to 4th shift to save gas.
Highway hasn't changed much since stock, I can usually get high 20's to even an even 30 if I use the cruise control and don't play around. In Arizona I drive from Phoenix to Tuscon and I can do it on a quarter tank if neccesary (little over 100 miles).

20 / 31.5 I get about 20 mpg around town, as long as I keep my foot out of it. I got 31.5 going to and coming home from Carsile.
I've got 4:10's and 420 RWHP. Thank you ECS for the tune.

Well, I know if you want to play you pay, I have been doing that all the time. Thing is, why not look around and see what efficiant vehicles are out there, compare them, anylize them a little. Trust me, if I was looking for a 50mpg camaro, I think I would be barking up the wrong tree. Seeing as how I "know" there are some crazy good mileage makers out there, I wanted to hear from them and see what they have in thier setups.
I would be happy with 18 in town.
My old 97 LT1 only got 220 to the tank what EVER I did to it, but, that was an LT1, now I have an LS1.

with stock 3.42 gears, and LS6 intake manifold, lid, LTs, TSP Rumbler, Hotcam, and a tune i was getting an honest 29-30 on the highway... driving 75 mph. but in all fairness i was getting about 16-17 (or worse) around town
