I got around 275 and I really had my foot in it on the highway, I was rather impressed. But I just started having that same fuel gauge problem, it stays on F for 120 miles then it dropped to 3/4 then it was bouncing around, this was while I was stopped. Do the camaros use a float type system or a sending unit?

I have been getting around 14 mpg and mostly city. However, I just took a road trip and got around 18 mpg with almost all highway.

But, I have been riding on stock plug for 37,000 and I just replaced plugs and wires and hope to see some improvement.

i get about 260 per tank. which averages about 20 mpg cause whenever i fill it up it only takes 13 gallons, which means i only ever run 13 gallons out.

i think different years have different size tanks

If you get into it some, you should prolly fill atleast every 230 or so

I usually get about 50 miles for each of the first 1/4 tank marks, then fill up about 15 miles into the final 1/4 as it falls more quickly for a grand total of 185 miles. Sometimes more, sometimes less, but I have a lot of stop and GO GO GO driving.

yeah, the 1/4 tank marks are not very accurate. I was told it is due to the shape of the tank....

Hey, ActionJack.....either you just decided to go to another LS1 info board and pretend to be a noob who doesn't know anything, or someone took your name over there.

I'm mostly stock and I'm lucky if I get 200 to the tank. I think I'm in need of a tune.
