What MPG are you averaging with the V-6? We do mostly highway driving, and we are averaging 25.3 MPG with the 6.0 V-8. I does handle fantastic, and the 6.0 also runs on regular. We only averaged 23.6 MPG with the 99 GTP.

Hi camerjeff,

I can't tell you my gas mileage exactly as I only have 2200 miles on the car and have only had it out on the highway once. I am estimating close to 35 mpg on the highway based on the distance I travelled and gas used. My buddy also has a 2009 G8 V6 and he is getting 34 to 35 mpg on the highway and I believe 24 to 25 mpg in the city. The only mods we have on our cars so far is we both have the replacement K&N Air Filter.

Remember though: 1 Canadian (Imperial) Gallon = 1.2 U.S. Gallons.

Jeff
sons 97 GTP still gets 25 in town and 35 hiway only.
add to that it was doing high 12s in 1/4 and thats hard to beat.
But hes ready to give up on it due to 5 transmissions.
My 99GTP got around 28 combined driving(no mods only a filter)
