6.2L here, tire choice may help improve a little. w/ 35 mts 10-8 or less city if you dont drive around with one toe on the gas pedal, be happy to get 15 highway.. but lets be honest, when youre driving gen 1 6.2l who really cares about your mpg

FWIW
YMMV

Been getting around 13 around town this winter, easy driving. Short trips, warmup a couple minutes in the morning and a steep hill in my daily routine.
87 or 93 octane don't seem to deliver any significant change to mpg.
Took it for a freeway cruise to the beach at 75 with a tailwind (35 miles). Easy lope on the scenic route home. Nice twisty motorcycle roads.
Got 18.9 mpg indicated on a 100 mile trip.
Variables...I've got a few... ;-)
