Welcome to the site I had the same problem. Drove it like a prius and only averaged a whopping 14mpg. I was pretty bummed out by it to be honest, especially because the SS guys were getting better gas milage with even less miles on it. ANyways, i started driving her hard, and i mean HARD and the mpg began to increase. The v6 just needs to be get more miles under that hood and drive it HARD. Trust me, try it out and let us know how it works for you. Worked for me but i also put on alot of miles doing so anyways try it out. Good Luck
Oh i use 87 octane.
I was getting 14mpg and now get 14L/100km which i think is about 17mpg or so combined.
