So when i count everything you guys came between 20-25 mpg average but when your paying up to $7,- per gallon it's not very friendly for you wallet to drive a LS400 as a daily driver.

Before i had my exhaust done i was pulling 24ish on the Hw at 75 and about 19 in town, after i had the 3rd cat and the y-pipe redone i am now getting 28-29hw and 24 in town.
I am extremely pleased with these numbers compared to what they were.

Ur milelage sounds about right....pretty much the same I get.
The low drag really helps....funny how the car really doesn't look that aerodynamic and has low drag coefficient similar to C6 Corvette (0.28)

damn how do u guys get that high mpg. on a trip to six flags in jersey and back in my 94 i got 18mpg and thats the highest iv every gotten. on average i get around 14mpg with about half highway/city. but i do drive on the aggressive side tho lol. anything else to maintain other than spark plugs, air filter, oil? ohh idk if this would help but i did a muffler delete on the car also.
