EBc5Z06 Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I have an 03 SS AWD. Right now im getting 14.8 mpg avg. according to the DIC, being about 0* around here doesnt help much but during the summer I saw 15-15.1 avg. driving on the highway. In the city Im getting about 13. The first and only time ive taken my truck to the track it ran a 15.47 @ 86 mph, that was with a full tank of gas, completely stock, and hot and humid out. If you live in an area that gets a lot of snow the AWD is very nice, otherwise if you like to do huge burnouts and what not, the RWD might be more fun. This all just my 2 cents, hope it helps.

FireRescueSS Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 My truck has averaged 15.0 mpg durring it's life, had 17.7 mpg when I got it. It's a 2004 BLUE model (best SS ever!) I use my AWD SS to move about as a daily driver in Ohio weather, and use it and abuse it often... just as my screen name may suggest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a 2004 BLUE model (best SS ever!) x2 on the Blue color. But how in the hell do you get 17 out of it? Did it have some kind of tune or serious weight reduct.

It had 17.7 when I bought the truck, but it has dropped to 15.0 durring the last year. I'm guessing the previous owner just drove the speed limit on the interstate or something, lol. Plus, I allow it to idle a good bit, even more now since it's so cold, that would lower the average fuel miliage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure enough, my parents took my truck to Tennesse this weekend and when they came back the DIC said 17.7. They drove at 75mph there and back. I never thought it would see over 15.5.

Bad Bowtie Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 "brandt", maybe u need a new fuel filter and/or a Sea Foam fuel treatment....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelin3rd Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 i avg around 17-17.5. i get around 15.5 for around town avg, and around 18-18.5 hwy avg. thats with me driving it pretty easy but getting on it here and there. i was getting a little better when the weather was warmer last fall. or it could be from taking the bed cover off.....or both. i bet a stocker 2wd could get 20 on the hwy at around 70 mph.

FireRescueSS Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 You do get better milage in the summer, with the summer blend of gasoline.... Don't forget to add that into your calulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rivierakid55 Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 06 here and im at about 12.0 mpg most of the time. short gears are great for takeoff....not so great for gas mileage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
