gas mileage on GTO (LS1)..
Been in for about 1.5 years. Great "stockish" all around cam, a little hotter than a LS6 with a perfectly stock idle. Made good power also for such a baby cam.

stock for stock and mod for mod (LS1 vs. LS2), the milage is about the same. If you're getting 18 city, you're doing pretty good!

Even the notoriously inaccurate EPA numbers were 17 city/29 hwy. In town, driving an easy 4 mile commute at maybe 25-30, I get around 13 mph. If you are concerned about gas mileage, forget about the GTO. Weighing 3750 pounds with a 350 hp engine, it barely beats out SUV's in MPG. Even the best engine management systems can't deny the laws of physics.

The most mpg I've gotten in my 06 GTO was 28 mpg on the highway. But it really wasn't normal driving conditions for me and I was actually trying to see how many mpg i could get out of the goat. I was going 65 mph on the highway using cruise control at 2 a.m. for a 3.5 hour trip so i didn't need my air conditioner and windows were up.
Under normal driving conditions i get about 15-16 mpg in the city and a consistant 24 mpg on the highway.

A4 fill up this morning!! Put in exactly 18 gallons, the trip meter read 331 miles.
Thats 18.38888 per gallon. But my car is new and I've been driving it like
an old lady with cataracts.

I wasn't worried about gas mileage when I bought it. It's all about the performance. The day I get tired of getting less than 20 mpg in the city is the day I'll trade the GTO in which will be never! lol
