Its all in the gear ratio and adding in that 6th gear Paar. LS1's average about 28mpg highway as said by GM.

Sadly my motor is only about 4,000 miles old.

Jpcrazylegs street rep is low. keep going

Why the hell are you getting 12mpg? Do you floor it everywhere?

Turn that cruise control on man lol.

I could see getting 12 if I mashed on the gas alot, but its my first real car that I care about so I drive it like an old man.

Due to my cam, my cruise control doesnt work anymore, the lope is too high, and the rpm is so staggered that the CC system is very confused. I get 12mpg because of the modifications that I have. It sucks, but I love my car regardless.
