With mine I average 27 combined. I usually do 70-75 on the highway and have a lead foot from a start. If I hammer it all the time, it's about what your mileage is at, but if I take it easy I can average about 30. On a long trip, my auto will do about 34-35.

Well I'm fully tuned, and running a very aggressive PE tune and a very conservative gas sipping part throttle tune!

31-35mpg combined. 42-44mpg when strictly hwy, with cruise control set at 105-110kph, without a CAI, just a ss exhaust feeding into a 3" highflow muffler(Actual muffler, not a fart can). Like said above, who needs a hybrid? These cars are more fun!

I have a bone stock LT 4 door auto,

Gage says my average is 28 however thats mostly city i would say 80%

When im on freeway thats another story. I hover around 37-42. Sometimes even 99 but i loose speed quickly. LOL


still would love a tune up for better MPG's.

Driving the **** out of it usually gets me about 28mpg, driving it hard only on on ramps and running 80mph i get about 30-31mpg. I can't tell you about driving easy though, as soon as i hear that damn exhaust and intake my right foot gains about 50lbs

I was thinking the same thing. I'm sure this guy wants to compare his car to other 2.2's and not a 2.0 SC

I've got a Black '08 LS Coupe XFE.

I've got a pinch over 800 miles on it, and my 28.2 is my average.

This is all city driving might I add, I haven't touched a highway with it yet.

Never gotten under 32mpg on a tank, even when I play rough (I reset the thing every fill up).
