Anyone in here have a LT1 that can give me the fuel mileage? Im looking into getting a 96 T/A for a daily?

 

An LS1 should get better fuel economy.

 

six speed or auto? Theres better choices for a daily driver of gas is your concern. Mine got about 17MPG mixed city and highway, around town only I would see 14-15MPG, pure high way maybe about 19-20MPG, I have a prety heavy foot though. This Trans Am does about the same as my Blazer.

 

its an auto. I drive 15-20 miles to work every day.

 

did u know i have 96 z28 for sale?
cheep too

 

no, Gotta link or pics sumthing??

 

mines a 96, when mine was auto completely stock i was getting on the highway about 350 to a tank which i think comes to about 21-23 MPG and in the city i was getting prolly about 17-19 MPG if i stayed out of the throttle, it got a little better on the highway and it was about the same in the city when i did the M6 conversion

 

well i just drove 1200 miles in m6 ta and i was getting 305 to a tank @23mpg 15.5 gal tank. gas gauge is a little off. so the numbers are estimates. but i drive about 5.1 miles to work, then the same back. i can go almost 2 weeks befor i need a fill up. I would look for something else for a dd if gas is a concern.

 

thats what my ls1 gets, but I have done the tune up yet.

 

yeah my car has 120.xxx on the clock. and she is in need of another tuneup. plus my exhaust is to big for my car so it might bo a little better. maybe 1-3 mpg better

 

On my 97 I had a 355 with headers and borla and would get about 13-15 in the city (If I got on it all the time, 10). On road trips I could squeeze 26mpg out of it... and it was an M6.

 

my cammed stalled auto get about 15 sity and about 25 highway...with a mail order tune...
my stock m6 get 25 all the time...

 

I have an auto 94 t/a with a small stall (2000ish) and I get 16 - 18 consistantly its usually 17.something. It seems like when I go slow everywhere I get 18 and when I beat on it I get 17 so I beat on it Also this is in rush hour traffic every day so that should give you a good idea.

I normally saw around 22-24 with a 1996 M6 LT1 camaro. That is mostly highway and not very spirited driving. I think I was running headers/catback/CAI at the time.

FWIW, I normally see about 20mpg in my C5, even though it is supposedly more efficient and 400lbs lighter. However, I drive a little more aggressively in the C5. LOL.
