Member Group: Advanced Members Posts: 119 Joined: 22-April 06 From: Beloit, Wisconsin Member No.: 1,167	In about two weeks I am getting a decent bonus check, so guess what I am planning to buy when I get it. To appease the "better" half, I was wondering what is the highway gas milage some of you have been getting with the LT1 and 6 speed, and the LS1 and 6 speed. I thought they were around 24 to 26 miles to the gallon. Please let me know if I am off base, or I am close. Thanks in advance.
