Gas milage
I have a 2000 ws6 trans am, and the gas milage is only around low 20's. It has 3 inch exhaust and a slp lid. But i have another 98 ws6 and it gets high 20's. The car runs excellent, nothing wrong at all with runing or driving. Has 65,000 miles. Any idea's?

i would say a full tune up and if you want more then go get a tune.
Plus you could try the ole tcw3 oil trick..

My driving is more around town and rural roads than highway and I average around 18 mpg. If I get some highway time it goes 22 or better. Mine is a stock '01 6-speed. As bad as that may sound, it's still several mpg better than my 4x4 Durango with a 318 auto and a lot more fun!!

Red- 1998 WS6 Trans Am
I rarely get below 20-22 unless I don't drive on interstate at all and have the pedal buried every time the light turns green or just wanna smash it every 5 minutes or so. I have noticed that I get a lot better mpg with premium but that's always the case for people that have cars that "recommend" premium.
I dont think I run through a tank of gas without having some fun with it to be honest. Oh yeah, almost forgot, I have 14x,xxx miles on my car. Yet, still get great mpg.
