27 MPG and 324 MILES on 12 gallons with a SHIV tune!!!!

I have V360 customed tunned from shiv. I am running royal purple motor oil and 76 gas. I was able to make it to vegas driving 75-85MPH with AC on and get 27MPG. I was amazed that I made it to VEGAS from SD with 12 gallons of GAS

Damn congrats! I'm getting maybe 280 from each tank right now, but I'm nearly stock and boost quite a bit.

I just did 371.5 on a tank and regularly top 320 (an you guys know how I drive ). I think the cams (cam timing), tuning and exhaust actually help because it takes so little throttle and rpm to get you up to speed. I definitely get better mileage now than when the car was stock

Congrats Snoop. BTW, your car looks fantastic! My mileage has gone down the tubes for some reason. Actually, I want to pull the XEDE and get the car back to stock completely to see what's wrong. Can you guys tell me what's involved it that? Maybe I should drive to Calhoun tomorrow?

I agree with you on that I was going up and down mountains in 100-115 degree weather without even stepping on the GAS. I think the cam timing on stage 1 plus the royal purple oil and light on thorttle helped.

I had 2 gallons left and drove 324 miles so 371 is very possible but it would be on fumes.
