Semi-old thread, but I got a best of 27mpg averaging 80-85mph on a trip to Tulsa back when I had 3.08s. I had headers, CAI, and a whisper lid back then.
Not sure what I would get now. I haven't taken it on a road trip since then.'99 Camaro

Re: Finally hit 30!
How does that make sense? If your at idle your using less gas than at 2-3krpm. I would like an explanation.Originally posted by cam98aro View PostComment

the car shuts the injectors off when you are engine braking.Originally posted by KJZ28 View Post

Heck, on this site a one-month old thread is nearly new :DOriginally posted by pace2006 View Post
To the original topic; I've seen 30 mpg a few times, always on long highway trips when the average speed is 65-70. It's not uncommon to see 26-28 in mixed driving, but when I was using the car to commute from Fredericksburg to DC, in frequent bumper-to-bumper traffic, I was only getting 23-24.
Oh, and fwiw my car is an '02 5-speed (3.23 gears), w/intake, exhaust, and PCMforless tune.Comment

Re: Finally hit 30!
If the injectors were off, wouldn't the engine turn off because it is no longer getting fuel?Originally posted by cam98aro View PostComment

Re: Finally hit 30!
Yeah, I have heard about it for a long time, but I never really believed it, after getting all of my scanners when i engine brake the mpgs go up to 9999.Originally posted by KJZ28 View Post
I may be mistaken, but automatics do this also, I know my girlfriends car will go up to 150+ average mpg after resetting it and moving without hitting the gasComment
