my only complaint since getting SS
Yes i knew what i was getting into when i got it but moving up from the 2ls i have to say gas mileage in the ss SUCKS big time literally lol. I don't know if it is in my head but i swear when i get on the pedal i see the gas indicator decrease little by little.
I dont regret upgrading to ss but having to fill up 3 times in 1 week is kind of a shocker after coming from 2LS and filling up once every 2 weeks. |

I get awesome mileage on the highway but city driving is another story. It's literally a third of what I get on the highway.

What's your current mpg? If you fill up 3x a week you either drive a ton or your car is broke.

Using Edmunds mpg calculator with 75% highway 25% city
SS (Manual) Est. Fuel Cost / Year: $2,938 LS (Auto) Est. Fuel Cost / Year: $2,262 The difference is approximately $676 a year depending how heavy your foot is on the gas pedal. |

28 mpg in the city? No possible way, these things chug fuel when accelerating but only sip fuel when cruising. I'm lucky to get 18 mpg in the city if I don't drive economically. On the last tank of gas I got 15 mpg, which was 100% city driving. I'm pretty heavy on the foot though. With a lighter foot and some economical driving, 20 mpg may be possible but it's a stretch. |
