Average gas mileage on an LT1?
What is the average gas mileage on a good running LT1? Mine has never been in good shape since I bought it because one thing breaks after the next. Right now it's a right oxygen sensor. Anyway if you guys can give a number for auto and stick, stock and modified, that would be great. Just trying to figure out what I'm looking at when I get this engine fixed.

Myn has 143k, with just a magnofluw muffler, and CAI. With a very heavy foot, on a mixture of highway and street, I get 17-19mpg on a tank.
If you drove it like a grandma you could prolly squeeze out 20mpg a tank.

Mods in sig, 135k
14-15MPG City... Don't get on the highway much, but I did get 22 once on the highway.
Re: Average gas mileage on an LT1?
I have over 78k on mine now, and have tracked the milage since mile zero. I've averaged 21.5 mpg over the LIFE of the car. Strictly city driving, I'll get 18-19 mpg. All highway, about 27 mpg. I've seen a low of 16 mpg, and a high of 31 mpg. All #'s are full tank fill ups. I don't drive slow by any means. I like to have fun with the car. I don't baby it at all, but I don't mash the peddle from every light either.

With a mild cam, borla catback, CAI, and the T56.....
17-20mpg city/highway
28-30mpg on trips to KC from Detroit, this is just all cruisin at 75 mph and only stopping at roadside gas stations and food.
