Re: what kind of MPG do u get in your ls1?
M6, I've been averaging 235miles/tank. I also don't let it drop below 1/4 tank either. So I'm around 19-20 mpg. I'm agressive with my highway driving, so a lot of down shifting to get around people, and I'm having a hard time not cruising around at a little higher than normal RPM. Been enjoying the exhaust note too much. I'm also running relatively rich since headers.
In Tulsa I got ~ 250 miles/tank. Less traffic and less time spent sitting for red lights.

i get around 16 mpg in the city and 22-24 on the highway. i drop the hammer once or twice on every tank but i drive the majority of the tank like an old lady (kind have to with a 3800 stall, you're either in it or you're not, no middle ground.)

Since everybody is filling up different amounts, comparing the miles driven between fill-ups is not accurate at all. You should compare just the mpg's.
I get about 320-360 miles per fill-up, which equals to be roughly 22-24mpg.

Re: what kind of MPG do u get in your ls1?
Well I just found out my gas milage figures have been flawed for a while...I just did a spark plug/wires swap and found out I was running a V6 LS1 for a while. I'll update how I do with 8 cylinders soon...
BTW...no freak'n wonder Fbods are extinct now, they're probably one of the worst packaged vehicles ever made. I've never spent that much time trying to change spark plugs. Plug #8 was actually kind of easy, it was just getting that d*mn 5th bolt loose on the coil pack rail that was a bitch. The driver side bank took all of maybe 45 minutes...the passenger side took at least 4 hours
If there wasn't so much engine bay clutter it wouldn't have been nearly as difficult. Why aren't new GTO's and Corvettes that cluttered?

Do those Tornado things really work? I saw one for the 02 at Auto ZOne for $60 I fill up all the time and I've been averaging 230 per tank, I have seen 260 once.
