[Blacdout96]

...CBR wtf dude, are you really gonna pick apart my answer? your exactly the kind of person im talking about. chill the **** out, thats my opinion, damn dude.

to answer that then, first off, my car is a 96, so compare it to a LT1. my friend Fred wasent getting as good gas mileage with his LT1 as I was with my 3.8. Secondly, maybe it was the way you drove, or maintained your 3.4, theres a reason why they only ran that motor for 3 years, not enough umph to push a 3200+ pound car down the road. with 3.23 gears in my car ( its a rear from a 94 Camaro, so before you start crying they didnt have 3.23's in 3.8 automatics),I can go from here to conneticut, a 200+mile trip, and still have 3/4 of a tank left. I maintain my car really well, so that might be the contributing factor as to why my car gets good gas mileage, and probably other 3.8 owners dont get the same results, maybe they dont maintain, or drive like a grandma like me.
