2000 Firebird- Intake, Pacesetters, !cat, full 2.5 to flowcrapster, 1.9 rockers, LS6 springs and Intense modded retainers, WS6 speedlines, T/A bumpers and hatch, 5 spd swapped, SOON TO BE nitrous'd and cammed.
I think I only measured MPGs twice in my Camaro. Once at an ave. speed of 90mph through the mountains @ 26.5mpg and once with about 75% highway at 29.5mpg.
30mpg @ 65mph sounds about right for an in-shape engine. I don't buy 33 @ 85 unless it was 3.08s with 100% highway and a tail-wind.

I agree...but I did have a friend say he got 33-34 @75...but he couldn't tell me what he did special other than cat back and intake.
For a minute there I thought you meant YOU hit 30!!! :D
On my trip to Vegas non-stop and steady at 65mph, where everybody else was going 85mph, I calculated 31mph on mine with Borla, Random Highflow Cat, Taylor wires, NGK plugs, K&N Filter, Whisper Lid, and Ram Air kit.
Well I was driving from Colorado to California, so completely downhill. I don't remember wind or anything like that. I know that I got 540 miles out of a tank. Call me a liar all you like, doesn't change that it happened. Car has 3.23 gears 5 speed. This was last year, I drove to Albuquerque a few weeks ago and got 28.
Yeah, I thought you were happy you hit 30 posts or lived long enough to reach an age of 30 years old. I have never measured my mpg. I just put 20-30 bucks in it a week and try to stay home.
I got a best of 28 at 70 mph, 5 speed and 3.42. On my way across texas. Filled up a lil above half a tank with 245 miles.

I recall hypermiling the 3.8L at 50 mph and coasting in neutral when going down hills in the Connecticut Valley and highways. I did the math twice and came up with a 30-something figure in the summertime only. It was the new tires and gasoline blend that helps with the decent mpg figures.
I am close to 354,000 and averaging 27 -29 mpg lately because my commute is loaded with awful construction delays and thick traffic that works me up so bad that I have to speed past these morons in the fast lane. :rant:

I know what you are talking about, I live close to Danbury, so I venture into CT often. At least neither of us use 287 near white plains, that has been under construction for 50 years.
