Monte Carlo

Just bought a 1999 Monte Carlo and ran the first tank as a baseline tank. It hurt not to coast too much and to use the a/c and sunroof. But I still got 27 mpg.

Cool -- any pics? I liked the Z34 package on those. Good highway revs from that Series II 3.8L too.

27 mpg is great! Keep us posted on the progress...

Keep us posted. Especially interested to see which engine you have, and which transmission... it might be a nice comparison to my vehicle. Good luck.
