Milage on daily driven LS after turbo

ive heard of people getting 30 mpg at pretty good speeds (80-90 mph). Thats just cruisin on the freeway though...running through the gears is a different story. You should change your oil a bit more frequently, depending on how hard you drive. I would say every 2.5k miles or so.

Re: Milage on daily driven LS after turbo
