Drive on down I'll do a run with you to do a MPG race. I'll be nice enough to even let you sleep on the couch.

I know I can knock down 34mpg on the highway and that's at 67mph.


What hasn't been mentioned is the fact that the GTP is geared for mpg where as the SE/GTs are geared to get them moving. If you put the 2.94 gear in the SE that weighs north of 3500 pounds you won't be able to get it out of it's own way when you leave from a light.

i was hitting 35.5 mpg at 75 mph on the highway today and i'm mildly modded.

I'm closer to stock than modded I guess, but when I was road-tripping to Maryland I was laying down 35-36mpg. at or around 75mph.

One my way back I saw a GTP, looked just like yours r.s.

I'll just add this last bit the current 3800 engine derives from the Buick roots of the 3.8 made famous in the mid 80's with the Buick Grand National and in this period these were one of the quickest American cars available humbling so called v8 muscle cars of the day,in fact this buick engine has proven time and time again it's ability to take boost give extreme performance an hold together it ranks right up there with the smal block chevy for longevity,the only reason I see that GM is discontinueing the 3800 is that it's too good ,I ca'nt say so much for the 3.1 I'm afraid .Chico(pops)

Thats funny because I've heard that before at the dealership thats by me. I bought my car in for service one time(I was still under warranty then) and they say that they wish people would give up this grand prix's and grand ams because that put so many miles on these cars and its crazy people would drive 200,000 and 300,000 miles on these cars. I was lmfao when I heard that.

Check this thread out Palsut, turbo, or swapping over the 3100:

lol thank hercman... I will see you someday to race you for mpg thing. I will keep you post.

I don't see nothing wrong with 200,000 or 300,000 miles on this car. Your dealership might be retard. It is pretty good car last longer. I would keep both GP forever to save me some money until whatever my future will be. I have 250,000 miles 1997 Oldmobile Cutlass Supreme. I sold it because I like GP look better than this. Oh my dad have 1985 Chevy Caprice (brand-new). It is very huge car. I love gas this car from rear bumper where plate is. He has it until 1997. 12 years and lot of mileage on this car. The engine was blew up.

Turbo on 3100 engine? That's new but I think turbo eat lot of gas? I would wait and see how my mpg doing first before I decide to swap them or not. My gas gauge hit orange mark tonight. It is turn "low fuel" light on. My gauge is fine but I bet I saved lot of gas after new exhaust installed. Tomorrow morning, I need fill her up and start reset trip to zero then start math thing when it is empty for other 2 weeks later. I'm looking forward that for what is real mpg.

jesus christ i only get 250 a tank if im lucky damn pos gp of mine

...That is all...

I'm sorry if you are upset about my gas mileage is better than your car. It is always good time to swap 3100. Ed still have it

Anyway, I believe I should fill her up on Friday or Saturday either.

During strong wind. The traffic light was broken for 3 days. (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday) It took me 20-30 minutes to get out during sitting for "4 ways stop sign". This lanes is 4. That's biggest traffic. That's kill my mpg. Last night, I was on way to home but huge wreck make one lane open instead 3 lanes. The purple Scion TC got heavy damage all over. I bet it is young punk driving idiot that cause other 3 van/trunk/car into mess. I sit like 10 minutes. Again it is kill other mpg. I haven't fill her up yet but I will fill her up tonight because my local gas station still closed since Sunday during power failure.

no. we are upset because this is a stupid topic that wont go away

hahaha.... I still update for gas mileage. I want to see how much mpg I will get. This guy got 250 miles on full tank? Mine is double than that. I think I should get like 500 miles left.

Please somebody close this thread because its getting a little out of control.

What are you talking about? I'm talking about my gas mpg. How it is out of control? :rolleyes:
