Seriously, I was getting 10.5 - 10.9 till I added mu Volant CAI and Magnaflow Exhaust. Admittedly, I added the exhaust cause I wanted the DEEP GROWL that we SHOULD get with a 6.0l V8 but didn't. And I did the Volant cause I thought it was COOL!!! (yeah...I'm not much of a gearhead!!)
Anyhoo, I usually get 12.5 - 12.9 city in the summer and that's driving it like I stole it. I KNOW it's not a sports car, but i LOVE givin' er off the line and hear my exhaust SNARL!! I'd probably be getting better MPG if I drove it SOFTER!!!

Gas mileage depends on elevation, air temperature, etc. So while one guy gets 15 mpg on the highway (maybe in Canadian gallons on the flats), likely not in US gallons. They ARE VERY DIFFERENT gallons.
Air temp and elevation play drastically with gas mileage. So does terrain (slope). So 9.5 mpg is OK. 15 mpg is OK.
Oh, who cares. If you do, go buy a Prius.
And last, the turbulence intake generators do not work. Do you think they actually do. Duh. If so, don't you think GM would use this 50 cent piece of metal to raise the fleet fuel average by 2 mpg. That is HUGE! Like 20% better gas mileage on an H2.
Save your money, and buy more bling instead !
