Default Just got a Monte again

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.

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!

Hi Pete, & Welcome to the Monte Carlo Family.
Wish you good luck with your 96LS.
How many miles on your Monte ?
Do you know the history on your Monte, and how it
was maintained ?
We also hope that you post pictures : )
We love pictures of Monte Carlo's.
Wish you good luck, better weather, and lots of fun/safe miles.
Look forward to your future posts.

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.
