I just found this site so I'm the FNG. Presently I own an 04 Impala with the 3.8. My daughter needs a car and since my 04 is still going strong I'm thinking I'll sell her my Impala for what I would be offered on it as a trade. I want an 08 or an 09 SS but since I commute about 70 miles a day, gas mileage is an issue. Here's my question: Will you guys give me an honest opinion of the type of gas mileage I can expect from an 08 SS driven at a constant speed of about 60 MPH with little in-town driving? Could I dare hope for 25 to 26 MPH?

Yes, you can hope and actually get that easily at 60mph

Thanks Bud! I think you just removed the last hurtle. I'm getting excited now.

 

[08SS]

I go about 20 miles back and forth to work each day ay 75mph with a little city driving here and there and I average 20 mpg every week.

If you are driving only 60 mph and are doing most of your driving on the highway you should get about 24-27 mpg. Alot also depends on how fast you accelerate.
