gas mileage
My car did 26.4 on a 170 mile trip. There were a few times that I messed around with an HHR SS that a friend was driving on the same trip. I figured that was pretty good considering I had a couple races.
I average 16mpg city/hwy. I best 19.3 mpg when I did I95 driving a 80 mile one way trip, than did a 250 ft burnout than drove on 611/broad street which was bumper to bumper in philly. So I think I could have netted 21mpg if I didnt goof off. That was with a mail in tune and a t56 with 3.42s
Now its dyno tuned, and will have a 4.10s as of this saturday. Should net me better mpg.

in the summer i get 16-17. i see no highway use, and i like to have some fun. thats about 5 miles each way to work, so its not too bad.
my supercharged 3.8 gets the same in the winter and thats 99.9% conservative driving with winter blend.

When it was stock, with the M6 and zero mods other than ORY and Moroso cold air, it got about 26 on the highway, 16-18 in town.
Now with the mods in the sig probably 20 highway and 10-12 in town depending on how I'm driving.

Hell I would love to get 10-12 around town. My car sucks it down like it's free! I think I get between 6-10. When I was data logging the other day it was in open loop for the entire 15 minute drive. That may be why I need to look further into it.
