15 MPG normal with my mods?? Not really too big a deal cause I only fill up once a week. But is it normal to get this gas milage with my mods. CAI, elbow, airfoil, LT's, ORY, Magnaflow catback, 3200 loose stall, and a pcmforless tune.
Just wondering.

It's my daily driver, I'd say 3/4 of the way to work is stop and go lights and the 1/4 freeway. I drive it like a stalled car should be driven. As in I like to punch it now and then, but i've been watching the mileage and it seems that no matter if I drive it like a grandma or beat on a lot, I still come up with about 215-220 miles before I fill up again. Again, I'm not worried you have to pay to play. Just curious.

As for a 3200 with mostly light-to-light driving, I'd say 15mpg is pretty darn good heh I'm thinking a tune could help that a little, but I'm not sure how necessary one is after a stall, or one of that size at least.

A stalled car always gets pretty horrible intown mpg. take it on a roadtrip I bet you'll be back in the low 20 mpg.
I get around 14-15 if I drive my car some highway and play here and there i get around 190 miles a tank. If i really drive it nice, mostly highway i get around 18.

I had to get it tuned already for the stall and longtubes with out smog stuff. Oh yah I have 2.73's so until it goes into lockup I have a lot of revving to keep the car going.
Not bad at all. Mine gets like 15-17 City With only Catback. 3.23 gears
I'm pretty sure I have a bad o2 though, and I know how that can affect gas mileage. Plus, I can't get an accurate reading after the tune. My speedo's off, so my Odometer and tripometer aren't going quite as fast as they should, because my speedometer says I'm doing about 5-10mph slower than I actually am. I'll get the tune fixed in a couple weeks though, so the gearing will be corrected.

my bone stock auto gets about 21-23 with mixed city and highway. I cant believe that the guy with a m6 is only doin 15 mpg's that doesnt sound right at all. Most guys on here with m6's with bolt ons and 3.73-4.10 gears are getting 21-25 mpg's i know the ls1 guys are pullin 27-29 with all highway. Im gonna be swappin a six speed in my car in a couple months i hope my mileage increases. i get about 315 miles to a tank when i keep out of the throttle right now.
