9-10 in the city with the SSS
11-12 in the city with the tahoe

Both have radix and stock torque converters, but long stoplights every 100 feet kill any chance at mileage...

I usually get 14/20, but the 20 is going 65-70mph, 75 and over it goes down pretty quick. Stock was 12/16 and much slower, thanks to Wheatley it picked up a bit. When I get my foot in it, I've gotten as low as 11 average, but it was worth it... first place to every red light, haha
