Cool Re: mpg

my last tank was 95% or more highway, i got 28 MPG ... i was really easy on the gas (had the cruise set at like 65 most of the time)

when it was stock and all city driving i had an all time low of 12 MPG (note that was also when i was 16 and gas was cheap... i liked the gas pedal a bit too much)

Re: mpg

There is a a government website, something with the epa, that tells what all cars from like 86 up have as their gas milage, and it lists the 3.4L engine for 19 mpg city and 28 mpg highway. That's for the 94, but I think it wouldn't be too different for any 3.4L engine in our cars.

Re: mpg

I routinely get @ 25 mpg with 75/25 highway/city driving. I consider that fairly decent milage.

I would kill for that kind of mileage.

I usually get 17 MPG. If I was putting down 300 rwhp, I would expect that, but my car is stock. I'm replacing my PCV valve and cleaning my EGR today so hopefully that will help.

Re: mpg

17 seems kind of low for the 3.4. Unless your driving it really hard, there has to be something robbing you of fuel. Most of my driving is on the highway. My GF lives about an hour away, so its a nice 100 miles round trip - all interstate.

I dont know if I'm the only one who notices this, but the 3.8's get way better then alot of the 3.4L mpg?
I live in a very hilly mountani area and even in the worst of winter where my car idels alot for warm up I've never hit below 17
