Worse mileage that I ever got was 24.5 with just about all city driving. Best highway mileage has been just over 30, with an average of about 26.5 most of the time. Probably has underinflated tires, filthy air intake, throttle body and UIM, oil that is 10,000 miles old and seized rear brakes. [/b] OR you are giving it hell in the mountains like me!!! I enjoy those twice monthly trips, but damn I burn the gas! Doug former owner of a 95 SE MTX Now driving a Bravada, no more fun in the twisties! DrGonzo767@aol.com

If I drive short hops with the air on, I REALLY see that gas gauge needle plummet!!! And I have all the right, working stuff on my car :p Freeway driving (if I can resist those trips up to 130mph and back) I CAN get up to 25MPG... My 96' LS V6 Mystique could get 32MPG on a cruise control freeway ride... but not my SVT One beat'99 Tropic Green SVT
