				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. |

				Thanks to all who have chimed in so far. I have about 1 mile of 40 mph, than the rest of the 56 miles one way is I 90- and Madison's "wonderful" Beltline. |

Then by all means, get a Pony car and come to Milwaukee to autocross it during the weekends. We have a nice little friendly group of F-bodies and one wayward Mustang driver who would enjoy the addition. |
