See, thats what i'm talking about.I see so many guys say they get 12mpg and lower...unless your heavy footed big time or have huge tires....like bigass mud tires 36 pluses i can't see it being so bad.But i guess thats just how it is.

06 Silvy here with 3.23s, G80 and get ~15mpg city, 19 hwy. Mostly stop and go driving though as my work and school are close to 5-10 minutes away. And that's all with A/C and some heavy driving.
