Hey guys with GTP'S
I'm wondering what your gas milage is? Cause I have a 99GTP, and I get 15mpg is this normal or just needs a really bad tune up, and also I barely drive just to work or home, and I rarely race or gun it

Thats what it says on the internet...between 18 and 27. My in car thing reads just over 20 most of the time but I don't know how accurate that thing is or how it gets that number. I just got the car and haven't put a full tank through it so I can't say for sure.

I get 19-20 mpg (calculated) on a 90% city/10% highway mix. Lot's of spirited driving, hard to avoid that. This is on E85, on 93 octane I used to get 21-22 mpg, same type of driving.
To get better than 15 mpg you may need a tune up or stay away from boost for a tank (very hard to do) and see if the mileage goes up. If you do a lot of short trips, that will cause low mileage.

Sounds like you need to tune. O2 sensor, filters, etc. It's hard to pinpoint gas mileage things. I used to get 23-25 mixed, until someone got ahold of it, and now I couldn't tell you until I get rid of this tank of gas. Ordonez, if you still have the GT tranny with your top-swap, you're going to get worse MPG than an actual GTP because of the gearing.

GTPJesse: Depends on a lot of things... The bigest one is your style of driving and whether or not you mostly tool around the city or cruise the freeway. I knew someone with a GTP who got average of 16 with pure city stop and go. Never had to go more than 5-10 miles to work with plenty of traffic... And then there's the people I know who routinely do mixed driving and have gotten anywhere from 20-26mpg... Can't speak for the hybrid cars that are cruising around here with GT trannies and top end swaps... But, Arcxnus presents a good argument on those...

I get about 18-19 in town and about 26-30 on the highway depending on wether or not i am drafting.
My car has 87k on original plugs and wires with 93octane gas.
All I have done is an intake and I like to hear the supercharger.

My stock '99 GTP sedan averages about 22-23 mpg when I use it for my commute to work. That's a good mix of street, freeway, and stop and go traffic. I also have a heavy foot, so my passengers tell me. My wife gets much less than that when she uses it as a grocery getter. On long trips, I can average about 25 mpg.
