Anyone that has an SS, what have you been getting for mileage?

Number_9 · 05-22-2009, 05:17 PM

Yep, I'm getting this as well. If I kept my foot out of it(shifted before 2000 rpms all the time) I could get much better. Who the heck wants to do that with a SS manual anyway. I drive this car and have fun. Gas mileage was not even a consideration for me. I know on the highway I can get well into the upper 20's. I have done it already, actually hitting over 30 at one point.
On a long trip in 6th gear it will get more than sufficient mileage.

500 miles in.

300 city 200 hwy

DIC says 14.9 avg
(the first half of a tank I was in the low 12's for MPG lol)

Scott@Bjorn3D · 05-22-2009, 06:14 PM

I am not resetting my DIC just going to keep going with it and see what it says over time. Right now 890 miles getting 16.4 city. I also just changed the oil at 810 miles. Valves chatter is now gone with oil change.

zzz28zzz · 05-22-2009, 06:17 PM

Scott, you changed oil recently, did you use synthetic?

Book did not say to. But with knowing there is alot of metal in the oil and filter from breaking in I changed it. And boy she is running like a night and day difference. She has no problems breaking lose the rear end now. Even in normal drive.

dyonick · 05-22-2009, 11:10 PM

150 miles - all city

DIC read 16 mpg

Did have a little front end vibration at start-up and prolonged idling. Gone now after filled with premium; think it was due to the 87 octane

from the dealer PDI. Cheap dealer; could have at least filled the tank with premium.
