factory freak!

K fellas, I think I've got a factory freak..........when it comes to gas mileage. I'm gettin 28 mpg. I'm just curious as to what LB9's and L98's get. I know there's a difference between the two, but still, i'd like to know.

Depends on how you drive them. With a 305 I was getting 14 city and 25 highway and after the 350 swap 13 city and 22 highway. These MPG were both with TPI's

No clue, my iroc gets better mileage than my fiancee's 2.8 v6 S-10

Prior to getting the iroc, my daily driver was the big block 3/4 ton pickup in my sig... anything over 7mpg was good milage to me lol.

I was always happy with what my 91 z got. You can't beat 28 MPG, that is what she did. My 6 spped does that and sometimes better. I love camaros!
