stock 96 LT4 gets around 14mpg city and 21mpg highway.

qualifying factors: I'm a jackass and drive as such, i drove from MO to CO when I got it, got almost 30mpg for that all highway trip to include the burnouts and drag-strip launches out of rest-stops.

the average, driving to and from and including a night of draging was still around 16mpg.

I love my car.

damn, I only see about 12-13 around town and 15 is about as good as it gets on the highway. I think the 38lb injectors and 3.73's are killing me. Cam is the hotcam.

I get 15-17mpg usually. That's local driving. I got 21.5 on the way back from BG this year, mostly going 80-85mph. At more normal speeds, anywhere from 24-26mpg, dependent mostly on the cruise speed.

Well, I used to get about 16/29 on my stock LT4, but that was before the Hotcam. Now I'm getting about 13/20.5 with the stock tune.

I have my PCM on the way to PCM4LESS right now for a retune and I'm hoping to get most of the MPG back!
