Default Gas Mileage Thread

Hey All. In my search for some information, I couldnt find exactly what I was looking for.

Everyone can post their average city/hwy gas mileage, manual/auto, year of their car, and list of mods (if any), that would be most helpful. Anything else that might help make this a more comprehensive thread, post that too.

Thanks!

City ~20
Highway ~30 @75mph

Combined normal driving cycle with stop and go traffic and lots of traffic lights: 21mpg.

Mods include custom tuning, 228/232 slowhawk spec cam, LG Streets, Z06 Ti's, LS6 intake, Slowhawk ported TB, Vararam intake.

Basically I'm getting similar economy as stock though the car has over 420rwhp.

NINE exclamation points????????? Yes, I counted....so, how would we express an "average" that is average when the average is different every time we average our average MPG?
