20 mpg normal?
20 mpg normal?
As the title says, is 20 mpg normal in our cars? Or do I have a problem? I do burn rubber every now and then. The car is mostly on cruise control going to work mon-thurs and barely moves on the weekend. 3800 n/a... I think it may be running rich, cant really tell if the catted zzp downpipe makes it smell funny or what.

I got 33mpg on the interstate in my Monte. Spent about 50-60 miles of that trip pushing 90 with the flow of traffic through Knoxville. I got right at 30 with the 04 Dale Jr (with the L67) and the GTP that I had. Probably got around 20 or so in town I reckon.
Wow, so I definately have a problem...

I would say you have an issue. My goodness, my 1979 Caprice Classic with TBI and a 350 V8 gets up to 18mpg. No way you should be getting that low gas mileage on your car.

...I guess something is definitely up with mine if I'm getting such poor MPG's.
Besides the simple mods, a complete tune up was done in the fall.
