Im picking up a 99 automagic..in about 2 weeks...what gas mileage are you auto guys getting? Im hoping for 16+ around town and 20+ highway...since i have to drive it from NY to FL

LOL...it'll be fun since it only has 19K miles...top speed is what..170..175? must be nice...whatever the mileage is, my 00 lightning got 5mpg into and 10.6 highway...11max...so its a big improvement!!! and it will be happy going over 100mph without mr. aerodynamic man punching it in the face

12,568 miles on 2000 M6. Average 16.7 mpg for the 12,568 miles. Some highway but mostly city. Not generally a heavy foot but an occasional WOT acceleration for the adrenaline rush
