I got 29.2 last weekend on a 155 miles round trip that started at 8000 feet and went over 2 mountain passes up to 10,500 feet. Speed was 68 mph. My wife usually averages 27+ mpg daily on her 75 mile run.

IF I drvie nice I can get 24 MPG. Even I was shocked. BUT it is hard to drive NICE. I love to down shift and hit the gas. Hell that is WHY I bought the car. F the gas price, I will still pay. I love to drive it too much. Hell I'm ready for $4.50 (US) a gallon. Bring it on, OPEC!

How many average MPG do you guys get?? I have 07 gt and i get around 13-14. Have to fill the bitch up twice a week.[:@]

but... def worth it
Same here. I can squeeze 15 with a feather foot but I've averaged about 14mpg in town and it gets a lot worse if I don't stay off the gas. Not what I expected when I bought the car. The wife's expedition gets 13-14mpg in town, has the 300hp 5.4 and weighs 6,000 lbs? WTH????

At least it's fun to drive.

23 MPG averaged over each month when I was stock. I typically drive about 90% highway and then lead foot around town the other 10%. Even on the highway I'll do some heavy sprints to about 110 and will dog some "guinnea pig" at 90 MPHfor miles. I'm hoping with the tune that the mileage will go up a bit.

16MPG in the city - I like to have fun, what can I say?

On the highway it's a different story though - coming from Saskatoon to Great Falls, MT, took a tank & a half of gas ($90CDN) & I know I saw the display tell me I was getting 34MPG a few times that I looked.

I used to average 18 and get 20 or so on the freeway. That was with a JLT2 and an SCT with 4.10's.

Now I get 23 @ 80 mph with 4.10's and the turbo.

I got 26.8 mpg today almost the hole way to tampa from rlando,I barely used my brakes at all , basically just was mashing my cruize as fast as i could to slow down and speed back up and it worked pretty good, all though I did get a lil nervous in traffic without my feet on the pedals. I get about 15 or 16 arount the city with my vmp tune. I got better mileage with my lamotta tune

After reading the prev posts, it seems I am on the high side of average. I get between 17-18.5 mpg with about 70% highway and 30% city.
