I have a few other projects in the works so I'm going to see those through to completion first. But mpg is definitely a factor worth considering for my next car.
I'm still in the breakin stage for the GTO, but so far after 500 miles; I am averaging 23mpg with a 100 mile round trip mixed driving commute that includes ALOT of stationary time on the freeway (LA traffic). My SVT averaged between 25.5 and 26.7 mpg depending on which route I would take during the week.
I doubt I'll get beck to those same numbers, however I expect to get close to them. If I get a 24 mpg average I'll be happy.
