Hello to everyone here, I have just purchased a 1996 Monte Carlo LS. I am very impressed with it so far. One thing I would like to know approximately what should I get for gas mileage since gas only seems to be going up all the time. Thanks

Pete

 

I can't talk for the Monte, but my mom has a '94 Cutlass Supreme S with the 3.1L in it and with 176,000 miles she still gets 25-30 mpg. Just watch out for intake leaks, head gaskets and heads going bad.

 

in my old 97 LS I was getting between 22 to as much as 33 mpg.

 

yay more 5th gens welcome to the site.

 

i odnt get it are you asking what you should get or what your going to get?

If your anything like me it wont be good LOL im getting 22-25 on the hwy last weekend btu in town i go threw about a tank a week drivign 30miles to and from work every morning. but i do have a lead foot.

 

Wellcome to the forum Pete. Another 5th gen to the fold! We have 2 Montes here, a 97 and a 98LS. Just got my `98 2 weeks ago. I`m getting 25mpg around town but haven`t put the new plugs and wires on yet. The `97 got 31 mpg on a trip to Fla. Enjoy!

 

 

Welcome to the forum. Congrats on your new 5th gen.

 

Welcome Pete.

Hope you're able to find some answers while you're here.

 

Hey thanks to all of you for the nice welcome. I will upload some pics once the weather is nicer here in Minnesota. They are predicting about 5 to 6" of new snow.
