Last I checked it was 20/21 city and 30 highway for a 3.8. Compare with the LS1's 19 city 28/29 highway with a 6-speed... and gas mileage becomes a non-issue.

I had an '01 Firebird with the 3800 series V6, it got about 18 city and 25 highway from my experience and I had a bit of a heavy foot.

id rather have the 3.8 but I dont know if I can afford that or not. Im looking to spend no more than 3k for a second car. I might sell the 3rd gen and get a lt1 im not sure yet.
