Default Gas Milage on recent trip.

I just got back from a vacation to the jacksonville area of fla and averaged 31 mpg. I did not scream down the hwy and just enjoyed the cruise. I have a v6 w/ 5spd. compleatly stock engine. I was impressed myself.

We recently drove from Cincinnati, Oh. to Niagara Falls. I cruised at 75-80 MPH, only used the A/C about 1/2 the time. We avereage 25 MPG. Comming home we used the air most all the time and got 23-24 MPG. I am pretty happy with that kind of mileage with a 300 HP V-8 convertible.

That's exactly what I average on the highway with my 5-speed manual GT.

Really good. I take regular trips from Crozet, VA to Tappahannock, VA. It's a 125 mile drive mostly on interstate. I average 29.5 mpg on those trips. My mods are Granatelli CAI, Hypertech MaxEnergy tune, 38 psi in tires and Mobil 1 oil.
