Replying to: georgecavalier (Nov 03, 2008 2:45 pm) My 6 speed LS-1 Vette would do in the low 30s MPG when driven gently at 70-75 mph in 6th so I thought the G8 might do a little bit better. However, it's a heavier car by about 700 lbs and we had about 400-500 lbs of people and luggage.   What did surprise me is that when we got out to North Dakota and Montana and started rolling at 85-90 mph on I-94 with a few bursts up to 140-150 that the gas mileage didn't fall off anyways as much as I thought it would. I think our worst tank was still 22 mpg so in that respect it was pretty good. Replies to this message: paisan (Nov 04, 2008 6:59 pm)

Replying to: 04gtpws6 (Nov 03, 2008 4:28 pm) Yup I'm waiting for the GXP 6MT. No point in getting such a powerful car w/o a MT or a sequential/DSG (non-torque converter) trans.     -mike Motorsports and Modifications Host
