Mine is tuned with an Apexi S-AFC and I get an average of 20mpg city/highway mix. All highway driving (75mph) I get 26mpg. Mine is definately below average and weather it's how I drive or if it needs a better tune is yet to be determined. Air fuel was fine on my last dyno. Most get normal SVT milage it sounds like.

When I had my 3L in my 95, I was only getting 10-12 city (depending on summer or winter) but I could pull 28 out if her on the highway no matter what.
Just sucks cause @ 10 MPG on premium...it kills the wallet pretty quick.
I'll put holes in him!!

22mpg city & 28-29mpg highway.
I average 23-24mpg in mixed driving (mostly city)
I have a heavy lead foot and live at the redline though.
It's about 1 mpg less then my 2.5L engine.

With my stock injectors, maf and PCM I was able to get about 17 in the city and 28-30 on the highway depending on load, wind, and speed.
I could get 28mpg at 80mph with some luggage in the back.
So I didn't loose anything on the highway but I lost about 1 mpg in the city. I never got good city mileage because it was always too much fun stepping on the throttle.
