Just checked today...
All city: 18 MPG w/ a V6 auto SLT EXT '98.
BTW... Standard fuel tank = 15 gal. The SLT "package" gives you a 22 Gal. (saw that in the owners manual)

I get 13-16 at best in city with my 2000 v6 auto cc. On long nearly 100% highway trips I can stretch it out to 20. Winter gas drops off 2 MPG for me.

Better fuel economy saves precious $$$ ...
AMSOIL synthetic lubricants have higher lubricity than conventional petroleum lubes. That means less friction on moving parts, less heat, less wear and fuel savings averaging 3% to 5% (documented).
Tighter government regulations and increases in engine manufacturers’ demands are calling for more fuel efficient lubricants. AMSOIL Motor Oils reduce friction and drag better than petroleum oils, resulting in significant fuel economy increases. In a recent 1.2 million mile demonstration, AMSOIL Lubricants showed a 4.5% increase in gas mileage. Other tests have shown increases of as much as 15% under certain weather and driving conditions. Yet, because every vehicle is different, as are driving habits and conditions, it is difficult to accurately project an exact increase.
--------------------------------------------------
... and yet another way to save $$$ ...
Amsoil recomends that you can extend your oil change interval up to 2 - 3 times manufacturers recommendations. The Right Environmental Choice! Conservative estimates put the amount of waste oil dumped into the environment each year at over 240 million gallons. If everyone used longer drain interval AMSOIL SYNTHETIC MOTOR OIL, the consumer would not only save $$$, the environment would benefit also.

97 CCS 3.9l Auto, some mods, got me 21'ish going to nashville n back last month. Not sure what it gets in town. Guessing 17'ish range.
22 Gallon tank here, brings around 350 to gas light on highway. I think around 300 or so in town.
