19 mpg hwy

 

crappy i have 3.42 gear and a 6-speed most likly back gas milage because i have a problem with taking my foot of the floor..about 140 miles to a tank but i fill up when it gets to a quarter tank

 

I just got 250 miles out of a tank, and that's driving in downtown Houston traffic with my heavy foot and the mods in the sig below. I think that comes out to around 17.8mpg. Not bad, I think.

 

Anyway it goes i am nearly positive that a ls1 car will get better mpg than my truck that only get 10mpg.

 

Ive never seen more then 175 miles out of a tankfull in my 02. But if gas milage is a concern get a Pinto

 

My 95 Z28 (LT1, auto 2.73's) got about 24 mpg on the highway.

My 01 SS (LS1, stick, 3.42's) gets about 27 on the highway.

That's with the A/C on & cruising roughly around 80 mph.

 

I get btwn 15-17mph highway I really need to fix that, gas prices are killing me

 

I get around 225-240 miles to the tank or about 16 mpg consistently. This is mostly city driving with a very heavy right foot. Haven't checked it strictly highway. According to my gas guage I can go around 125 miles on the first 1/4 tank and then only 115 on the next 3/4 tank. That last 1/4 tank goes really quick. Not the most accurate guage in the world.

 

really depends on the city u live in. In new york city, i usually got ~11-12mpg city. here in texas, Im at about 15mpg city, same car, different city.

 

I avg. 22 mpg overall. The best I've gotten on the hwy. was 29, the worst 9.

 

I get between 250 and 300 miles on a tank around town and usually between 300 and best 390 on the hwy. So, that's around 18 in town and 26 on hwy. Not too bad for 3.73s

 

Over the life of my car (69k miles), I have averaged 20.5 mpg. Max is 31.3 mpg and min is 16 mpg. Yes, I have tracked it every fill up since I bought it new. I have it in an Excel spreadsheet and everything.

Interestingly my gas milage has stayed the same even after the CAI, headers and catback and wider tires even though I was making about 40 more HP. Gotta love intake and exhaust mods.

Best ever highway on the SS was 24 - that was w/ the stall , and after a fresh set of plugs.

Last highway trip I took was last Sunday - less stall now, but w/ 3K ish old plugs.

I had the cruise on most of the way , with one little up to 125 pull going over a big brige in Baytown.

I put on like 115 miles - ~ 35 ish city.

That tank was worth like 19.5 MPG.

Kinda disappointing.

Oh, well - it gets better mileage than the 4 x Suburban !

I get around 11-12 if i baby it

 

Is there something wrong because i have never seen close to 300 to a tank in my car with the bolt on's listed. My 02 sensor was acting up a little while back making the car very sluggish off of the start.. Any ideas on what could be the problem??
