I just went 230 miles on a full tank! YES! That is the most I have EVER gotten the whole time I've owned the car.
And that was with A LOT of WOT runs....I was happy.
I have a M6, stock gear, Jet-Hot LTs w/ true duals, and a SPEC Stage 2 clutch

I just got 286 to a tank today. That's mainly back roads, a few miles on the freeway, and all kinds of hard accelerating and burn outs. So i got a little over 20mpg. It was like 13.6 gallons to fill it up.

94 Camaro LT1 A4, 3.42's ... I get about 190-210 a tank(highway and city) I've gotten about 240 or so on highway alone.
From what I've been hearing and reading, I seem to be getting real bad gas mileage compared to other cars

i keep my foot out of it honestly and get into sixth at around 60 mph. i did make a trip to missouri one time. got nearly 400 miles out of the tank. somehow it worked out to be 28 mpg. no idea how and its never happened again.

With my Auto i always shift into nuetral when i start slowing down. Its jsut a habit from all of my other cars being manuals. I also figure is keeps trans temps down, and i dont have to hold my foot on the brake as hard in traffic.

I got 14 (fun filled tanks) and about 16 normally when I had my LT1. That was with 100% stop and go driving. Not really city but a lot of traffic lights with lots of 0-45.
My mods for my old LT1 ( ) are in my sig.

I have an M6 and when it was running with 4.10 gears and if I baby it I get around 266 miles to the tank. I thingk one time it avg. out and I got crappy gas mileage but who cares, if I wanted a economical car I would have bought a Honda.

i get 12mpg one time i got 17mpg, i was on 1/4 mark so i drove without a/c and below 3k rpms. I drive 60 miles everyday. 80% highway 20% city. thats all the car sees pretty much. I hardly ever take it out on the weekends. Oh and i normaly drive "enthusiasticly", i do over 100 on the highway when i can. usually over 3k rpms. But still i shouldnt be getting 12 mpg

hmmm, I have never heard of that. Are you saying that we get better gas milage with the A/C on than with the tops off and windows down?
