I was curious what kind of highway mileage most of you were getting...I know I'd want to take this beast on a few trips if I get one (or WHEN I get one...lets be positive)...my GP is spoiling me now by cruising at 75mph and getting 27-28mpg. I know it'll never come close to that but I was wondering how far am I going to slide (CAFE figures are so general they dont really help much)

I just went from the same drive train (3800) in a Monte Carlo SS. You will get about 10MPG less in all condx with the SSR in the real world.

Jut tooka a 150 mile round trip yesterday with the SSR out on the interstate. Average speed was 84mph with a blast up to 125mph and the average fuel was 19 mpg.

But did I mention I got over 20 spm?

Zero to Speed Limit...

I don't keep a close eye on MPG... but I do know that it goes super fast from zero to the "speed limit" + or - 9 MPH all the time :lol

PS. I also like the sounds of the revs... occasionally I will "sneak" it into neutral to wake up the beastly sound! VARRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOM :jester

Went To

We road triped from Vegas to Death Valley over to 385 up to Reno and lake Tahoe and then back down 95. Could only get 19 MPG. Gas eat my lunch. Can't wait for my VARARAM Kit with a K&N, also will run a spacer in it. http://www.vararam.com/

I must have done that about ten times driving out through the crowd at the track this evening. Got a cheer every time.

Just checked and I'm averaging around 13.5mpg based on aprox. 75%freeways, 25% local driving with an '05 auto. Guess my right shoe must be a little heavy. It really doesn't matter, one of those I don't look, I don't care, its just too much fun to drive!
