Post Fuel mileage
Just curious what kind of mileage you guys are getting with your 3rd gens. Mine is a 91 5L tpi engine, t-5 Trans 3.23's, 275/35/18 rear wheel.
I have k&n filters, cut out air box, airfoil, manifolds and stock pipe with a Flowmaster.

My last tank if fuel I got 460 Kim's out of 50.3L of regular.
Works out to 25.9 mpg or 10.8 l/100 Kim's.

What are you guys getting?

98 with a 6.2L does about 600km+ to a 58L tank

Drove from Detroit to Kingston and hit the red around the 600 km marker around the On Route pit stop during the Ligenfelter weekend last year. Put in 52L during that fill up. Wasn't babying it or intent on saving gas during that drive back.

That puts me around the 28mpg mark.

If in city, I get around 375 km/tank, but I usually fill up with 1/4 to go and around 300km. So it eats up a good chunk more gas in city for me.

I am getting 9-10L/100km in the 3.8L Firebird....rush hour commuting from West Mississauga to Midtown. I am pretty happy with that, considering if I do the same run in a brand new 4 cylinder car (couple weeks back I did a new Kia Forte) I get about 7.5L/100km.

Got roughly 450-500 boltons lt1/m6 with 4.10s. With the built 355 h/c motor I got about 400-450 maybe more if I could keep my foot out of the throttle :D

The 69 I have no idea the odometer doesn't work lol. Doesn't appear to be bad for a carbed L6

I get about 400km on 3/4 of a tank if it's all highway.
