I've got an 08 vert, supercharged. With the all out tune I get 20.8 in city with sprited ramps and so on, and best I can get on the highway is 23. But I love this sucker, 380 at the wheels.

My white car has a similar setup (3.73 auto) with a tiny bit more boost (420HP) and I get a little less than you in the city.
My manual without S/C can get 25 highway easy (27 if I am real careful).

Before I installed my Roushcharger I was averaging 19.5 mpg, with it I'm averaging 19 mpg. And I can get 25 mpg on the highway still.
I should have gone FI a long time ago.

Car specs: 2004 3.9 V6--4 speed auto, K&N CAI, MAC y pipe catback dual exhaust, full synthetic Mobil 1 Oil, 245-45-17 General Exclaim UHP tires.

Driving style: varies-moderate to spirited.

Driving route: mixed 45 miles a day, about 20 miles hwy/fwy, 25 miles city.

Average MPG last 2 years: 24 mpg. I can pull 27 freeway at 70 mph...smidge more if I draft right off other cars. I can easily clear 350 miles on a tank even if I flog the car. I would expect a further bump if I ever get a tune on this car.

So that's the highest you got mixed? Do you get better mileage with premium or regular or is it all the same?
