liljonson Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Stage 2 w/winter tires 26mpg using calculation 90% highway at 55-60mph on cruise control. Shows up around 20-21mpg on my trip computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacy360 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Stock, loaded with 4 people and a full cargo area, all freeway 60-70mph, several 80+ mph two lane road passes, and driving over the Cascade mountain range netted me 23.7mpg. Not too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALX2987 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Im only at 22 mpg combined using 93, according to my dash. This in a 5speed bone stock 09 lgt. and belive me, i drive it conservativley, rarley boost....which sucks. Side note, does anyone elses motors sound much worse around 2.5-3.5k with light throttle than it does with heavier throttle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The LGT sounds like dog crap with light throttle around 2.5-3.5K like it has no oil or someone did a horrid valve adjustment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your probably getting more You're the only one in this thread who has reported getting better than the trip computer's estimate. Most people get less.

ALX2987 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I dont understand how people are getting in the high 20 mpg range, Ive really been trying to get my mpg up and its pretty consistant at the 22 mpg mark...it sucks. Bone stock, stick, barely boosting, cruisin around 40 most of the trip..whats goin on! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALX2987 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 4th for most of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated thefultonhow Posted November 3, 2011 I Donated Share Posted November 3, 2011 4th is the right gear for that speed, but it's not as efficient as being in a higher gear at around the same RPM. You will probably get the best mileage around 55-60 in 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suba Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I'm running a Perrin up and down pipe with stage 2 tune and get a consistent 25 pure highway. Freeway driving it drops to about 22/23 and in town I'm afraid to look. This is all based on the computer readout too so take from that what you will.
