I'm just curious what you guys get for gas mileage on your lt1 / ls1's ?
( I heard ls1's are better )

It depends on where I'm driving(obviously). On average I get about 16-17, and that's pretty much 100% city. If I do exclusively highway, I get about 25 or so...I don't do that too much, so I don't have many tests to take it from. That's with the auto too.

Believe it or not my 94 LT1 gets the same as my 88 2.8 in the city which is about 14 mpg. But on the Highway the 2.8 gets much much better. The 2.8 does burn alittle oil which probably adds to its poor city mpg.

Honestly I couldn't tell you ............ I have not even figured it up ....... today was the first time that I have had it out in over a month .... so figuring up gas milage is nothing that I have done in the past due to the fact that I never drive it.

Considering that its a V8 .. my first guess would be that most likely its not to good.
