I knew the V8 would use more gas, but I really miss my V6 gas mileage. Don't listen to those fools who say a powerful 8 will get 2 mpg less than a V6. Maybe all highway WITHOUT hammering the gas, but otherwise when/if you get an 8 expect to pay out some gas money.

 

I doubt that I put $5 in my gas tank every 2-3 days... only 14-20mi a day.. damn gas mileage.. my dad gets 20 city 28 highway in his car... but it isn't sporty...

 

Agreed, I get **** gas mileage also..

New injectors should help that out though... here I come Rich Jensen!

 

What has been done to the LT1? What transmission, and rear gears? My 6 speed 97 SS got 24mpg on the highway with 4.11 gears and a near.600 lift cam.

 

yeah really what mods are done to the LT1, cause if setup right they get damn good mileage

 

It's bone stock. On the highway it gets good mileage, but through the city it takes a dip. Also, when you hammer it here and there the gas mileage goes to hell. With my V6 I could get 300+ miles per tank while hammering it. I guess my reason for posting is to tell everyone to enjoy the economy of their V6's.

 

Its just the nature of the game w/ v8's.. i love ls1's tho since they get awesome MPG in city or highway...
