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. |

Mostly stock, 28-29 mpg on the highway averaging about 80 mph whileon the road.
headers cut the mileage, gears, and cam got me down to 24 or so. Driving locally is where it really hurt. dropped from over 20 to somewhere around 16-17. If you can find a ws6 1le formula, buy it. If not, go w/ an SS. |

(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif) There was an NBM one on ebay a few years ago w/ very low mileage. If my local Pontiac dealer wouldn't have given me so much crap about a 6 speed, that't what I would have ordered. During HDPE's, I usually get much better mileage than many smaller cars too. (Still only 7-10 mpg). R32's and turbo cars are pigs on fuel. |
