Plugs/Wires/Air Filter/Fuel Filter/Oil & Oil Filter/o2 Sensors...could be any of those.

Your mileage sounds about right. I average between 15-17 mpg in the city.
07-11-2009
i get almost 20 in the city. Before the top swap i got 17ish
07-11-2009
I get 12
07-12-2009
first off whats a top swap? Blue GTp are you saying i should change all those?
07-12-2009
wow everyone. thats low haha. granted i know some of you (blue and 91) have some pretty extensive mods but my comp g gets like 18 with a heavy foot and my gt was gettin 20ish city while i was pretty cruel to it

im at 18 i try to be light on but its hard

What exactly is a top swap?

I'd start with the 02 sensor (denso), get it from sparkplugs.com, it's a lot cheaper than your local parts store and will be better quality. When is the last time you did a tune-up? Plugs/wires will play a big part in MPG depending on how old yours are, if you don't know the last time they've been replaced it's probably not a bad idea.
My GTP gets 22 mpg in the same driving conditions (to work & back in city, same route every day) vs. my '01 Suburbans 18.5 mpg. I do drive like an old man, but I drive all my vehicles the same.

my dad is a mechanic i am having him give it a tune up sometime this week.

a top swap is when you take the parts you need from a gtp and put it in a gt (naturally aspirated) engine to supercharge it.

My 140k 1996 olds 98 gets about 24-25mpg to and from work with city-highway like driving a/c off...some stoplights but majority of the trip i can maintain 55mph to keep it locked into overdrive.
Last road trip i did with it i made 27-29mpg interstate rolling at 80mph with a/c on...
One before that i was moving and had the car loaded with about 1200lbs and was getting about the same mileage.....car loves the interstate
