what kind of MPG do u get in your ls1?

my 99 t/a is stock with m6. i get just barely 200 miles to a tank...i dont beat it on it but maybe like once or twice a tank. and its not insane just put it down to about a 100 then stop, just to get the nice flow of adrenaline .

20 Mpg *AT BEST* skipping shifts, and not reving past 2500 r's. Mix of around town and HW. It's just so tempting to mash the FUN pedal and heard that motor roaring, pushing you into the seat... I LOVE IT...

300-340 MPG all in-town. Sometimes I skip shift, I usually shift around 1.5K-2.3K.

Re: what kind of MPG do u get in your ls1?

I get about 17-19 in the city and about 23-25 on the highway. I'd say about 220 miles per tank for city/highway driving, which is about 80/20.
