Whats everyones MPG for their LT1's?
And your Mods. I'm trying to figure out the mods for best mileage for Lt1s Cause I'm about to get one and I want to see what I'm gonna get myself into lol.
My 3.4L I think I get something like 22mpg in the city and I spend at least 40-50 bucks for gas a week. |
I've got lots of mods but I average about 16 for both city and highway mixed. If I go straight highway, I can get about 20.
95 Z28/1LE - T56 Induction - SLP CAI, K&N dual air filters, RK Sport Air Foil, TB Bypass, 1.6 RRs Pro Magnum, Manley Pushrods Exhaust - Edelbrock Ceramic Coated TES Headers, Off Road Pipe, Ex. Insert Cone, Edelbrock Cat Back Ignition - Jacob's Ultra Pack Ignition, Coil, Trigger, 8.5mm Plug Wires, Bosch +4 Plugs Drivetrain - Hurst Short Throw Shifter, SLP Alum Driveshaft, LG Torque Arm, GM 4.10s with Eaton Posi, SLP Lightened Flywheel and HP Clutch Package Cosmetic - RK Sport Back, ported heat extractors Suspension - Hotchkis Front Springs, Welded Sub-Frame Connectors, Hotchkis Lower Control Arms, Hotchkis Strut Tower Brace, RK Sport LCA relocation brackets, Rear weight jacks by Ground-Control with Eibach 175# springs, and Spohn Adjustable Panhard Rod, Bump Steer Tie Rod Ends by Baer, 285/50R17 Goodyear D1-GS D3s, custom powder coated 17" wheels 290 RWHP/ 324 RWTQ - (July 2002) Before most of the mods 365 RWHP/ 360 RWTQ - (March 2008) Heads & Cam |
Wow man...Thats alot of mods. But Lt1's stock get like 18-20 mpgs right?
|
Easy. When mine was stock I'd get up to 24 on the highway to Vegas. City was about 18.
|
In the city I drive very short trips. Turn on, warm up for 2-3 mins, drive 1-2 miles, off, etc etc. Doing this I usually average ~11-12mpg. Freeway driving from San Diego to LA (decent amount of hills) with cruise control on and averaging 75-80mph, I'll get 24-25mpg. I'd imagine it would be a bit better if I kept my speed around 70-75mph.
Mods in sig. |
My car bone stock would do damn near 30mpg all highway driving with the 6 spd. I think the car would avg near 20mpg city. Now with the heads and cam, I get about 15-25mpg. The 25 is all highway.

17.75 mpg with an a4 car; 3.23 rear mostly highway.
fresh rebuild Crane 227 cam, Crane 1.6 roller rockers, K&N FIPK, Hooker muffler, NO TUNE YET. Derek |
Wow, let me just say that you guys are lucky...
I'm not even in the double digits, ha. I currently get 6 miles per gallon in the city and 10 miles per gallon on the highway while shifting at 2,000 RPMs at most... And I still have to fill up every other day. My mods include: - Racing injectors - Fuel pressure regulator - 3:73 gears - Tune - Straight pipes after the cats (I'm sure this really kills the M.P.G. :D) Note: I only included the mods that have dramastically affected my M.P.G. I'm sure there's more but I'm to tired to think of them all. |
6 MPG!?!?!? wow...

~15 mixed with me not keeping my foot out of it. I have no doubt it would get >25mpg on a highway trip.

I recently got 31 on my highway trip
Just a 160 thermo and Flowmaster exhaust, not modded much at all I'll get maybe 16-17 in city though |
Didn't get mine for gas mileage :devil:
|
Mine has pulled around 17-20mpg around town. As stated above though, I didn't by mine with the intent of pulling good miles per gallon either.
