neo4you March 2nd, 2008, 07:10 AM I have a '00 LS6 with 145K miles. Just recently put new O2 sensors and cleaned & re-oiled the air filter, have brand new front tires and 2-year old rear ones. On long trips I get 21-22 mpg, and locally, which is still mostly highway, I get 17-18 mpg. My friends' trucks give them better mileage! I mean, is normal for LS6? What do your cars get?
stuntin_LS March 2nd, 2008, 07:19 AM I have a V6, and right now I'm gettin about 16-18 mpg. It's really low right now because of constant snow and I have my heaters constantly blowing. In the summer though its pretty good usually 17-21 mpg.
HyeLifeLS March 2nd, 2008, 08:03 AM I get the same mileage. 01 V6 auto 150000 miles.
Black03 March 2nd, 2008, 08:57 AM 03 V8 50k miles I'm right around 20-20.5 with mixed driving, but I'm not usually running the heat or ac this time of year...
Oil on the filter will reduce power and mileage. I got to the point where I would clean my filter often but not put much oil on it.
00_slow_5spd_ls March 2nd, 2008, 11:28 AM what r u trying to say? if you put to much oil on the filter ring?? lol
JERSEYLINCOLNKING March 2nd, 2008, 12:28 PM 2004 v8 with 40000 miles and i get bout 16.5 around town with getting on it a little also with 20s
NateRW21 March 2nd, 2008, 12:47 PM I can manage 24-25mpg on the highway if I keep it around 70mph (it's less in the winter; damn winter fuel)...
Usually 17-19 city mileage
03 v8
Tricky-Dick March 2nd, 2008, 01:58 PM So far 26 Hwy '03 V8 12,500 Miles. Planning a trip to California in March so will chime in after the 3,000 Mile Round Trip.
neo4you March 2nd, 2008, 05:24 PM I can't understand why LS's mpg is so low. I remember having a '94 Mark VIII with its powerful 4.6 V8, and it gave me 22 mpg mixed and 25 mpg highway. Of course that was 4 years ago when it was straight gasoline, not "gasohol" (10% ethanol), plus you never know what they might add to gas now that the prices are insane :(
Garbone March 3rd, 2008, 01:40 PM '04 V8, with 49K...17-18 around town, and I just went to the coast...404 miles, at a respectable 23.8mpg. This is with a K&N 57 series FIPK.
Zach March 3rd, 2008, 05:49 PM 02 LS8, HW 23mpg all my driving is HW don't know around town mpg.
NYC LS8 March 3rd, 2008, 05:51 PM I saw 25.5 from ATL to NYC last November on a stock tune doing mostly 85mph on the 800 mile trip.
I do mostly city driving and not really all that easy on it and it shows 14.9.
