I get between 16-17 around town with a heavy foot. Intake/exhaust/tune with heavier wheels and tires.

idk how many of yall have the overhead thing that tells your mpg. but, that thing is my best friend. i havnt checked it lately, but when using the instant reading, i can get around 25-30 mpg. i think my current average for city is 22-25.

i once drove 200 miles on 1/4 tank.

I've hit 26 a couple times on highway and it'd say around 22 city (if i baby it) I'm going on a completely stock LS4. --Some sort of intake is coming (if not for economy, for engine sound), i just have to wait until warranty work is done. I'll probably end up making my own FWI with a K&N filter. . . think this will change MPG'S much?

I measured my mileage one time with 100% city driving doing burnouts, gunning it from stops, and beating the crap out of my Monte and when I filled up I had gotten just over 17mpg. On highway driving only, I've seen as good as 27mpg.

I've also found that with my Aeroforce Scangauge, that when I let off at 90mph, my Monte returns 193mpg
