I get about 27 mpg highway. City is about 15-16.

Note, the G8 only weighs 50-100lbs more than a V8 Camaro.

Check out the G8 board, there is people usually trying to sell a car or two on there.
Thanks!

It was definitely a V8 GT as I saw the engine. It sounds like it was just run down a bit or maybe a vacuum leak somewhere or something.

This does make me feel a bit better on the mpg. I average 19-21 mpg. All city gives me 16 and highway gives 25. So I'm not losing a lot.

I've checked out G8 board. Wasn't clean to navigate like other car forums. I'll check out the for sale section as well. May save me some $$$ on mods.
