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. |

I got 30 mpg on the highway in my stock LS1 Camaro before our gas got watered down with Ethanol. Now I get about 17 city and ~25 highway (lots of rolling hills). Wife's Honda Civic used to get 35mpg before the fuel switch and now gets 32mpg mostly highway.

(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) I found a place way out in the boonies passed madision WI by my parents house that still sells straight gas and it is $0.10/gallon cheaper than the Ethonal crap. I started bootlegging gas back to IL via 5 gallon fuel containers every time I go visit my parents. |
