    New guy just saying Hello. Recently purchased an 04 Grand Prix GT and so far so good. Enjoying the car if not the fuel mileage. LOL

    Welcome, Friend ! You'll like this place, lots of knowledge & great folks on here. Ease up on that right foot for instant better mileage, and make sure filters and ignition parts are newish for longer term improvement. Or just mash the gas and enjoy !
    For the record : I am NOT a naked meth-head who shoves rocks up my butt.

    Welcome!

    I gave up on caring about fuel economy a long time ago. Just mash on the gas and enjoy the ride like Cheetah said lol.

    Yes car recently tuned up so new plugs and wires etc etc.. Motor runs great and the overdrive is working as I'm turning maybe 1800rpm at 100km/h. Perhaps I was spoiled by the Toyota I was driving.

    I switched the units on my DIC to metric, here's what I got....




    I consider 25mpg good. Dunno what that is in kms/liter ?
