    My 06 grocery getter gets ave 24.7 on the dic. I do quite a bit of interstate driving. The rest are backroads out to the farm, and I have a heavy foot. If I set the cruze at 65 on the I it is significantly better @ 31.

    I'm averaging 22.3 in my 93 6 cylinder LE. I find that never turning on the a/c makes a huge difference. Mostly highway commuting. I've hit 29 with cruise control on 5+ hour drives.

    Would headers like speed daddy ones for example increase mpg if everything else but the intake (9" spectre) is stock?

    My average is 24. I reset my average with each fillup. City only, i get 18-22. Cruising on the highway (82mph) with no AC and windows up (fall is perfect for this) I get 30, i can bump that up to 32 if im futher south where the speed limit is 65.

    I love northern maine now, they raised the limit to 75 last year, of course everyone was already doing 80-85 anyway

    Funny, I don't think I ever got over 24mpg...though I can't keep my foot out of the pedal, that's my fault....but on that note, my digital gauge has been fuucckked up for over a year......I may have averaged over 24mpg, but I can't tell

    91 premium mixed with 2-3 gallons of 100 octane every fill up.....
    Not your average grocery getter, but theres always at least two things on the list.... 10w-30 Castrol Titanium and Shell 91 premium mixed with a lil 100 octane racing gas......

    One of the things I hate most, is when im trying to maintain my MPG in cruise control but theres always some knuckle head that messes it up.......like
