05 gxp
I have an 05 GXP with about 8k miles on it. I drive about 75 miles round trip to work (mostly interstate) and average about 18.6-19.5 mpg. Couple of short highway trips showed about 21-22mpg taking it easy (60-65mph). Only time I see the 24 advertised on the sticker (or more) is coasting down a big hill !!! I can't say I'm upset over the mileage but I agree that the sticker is a little "exagerated" maybe????? Oh and I have put 40 series flowmasters and a k&n drop in in mine ..... no changes to the air box yet and only saw maybe a half MPG increase with those changes.

P.gxp was that the drop in filter and if so could you shoot the part # at me. Is it listed for our car? And yeah mine gets about 14-16 mpg @ 93 octane , but I cant leave that throaty GXP exhaust alone >

thanks GXP I think some os these smaller town parts stores just dont the thing in their computer cause it'* not something they carry.Now if I can find ceramic brake pads for the larger calipers, GM dealer doesnt have them listed ...but willing to put them on. Which surprised me because most things I ask them comes back with the standard"that will void your warranty".

Ya the rpm is kinda high on highway. with the 3.71 final ratio could have used another gear....But The N* takes it stride,. Mine is really opening up for me quess it takes some miles to for everything to seat. I drop in the K&N filter and didnt help mileage, or maybe it influenced my foot. Had out of shop this weekend and got worse mpg yet 13.7. At $2.79 a gallon for 93 octane. IT'* KILLIN ME
