Gas mileage?

hey guys i was wondering what kinda fuel mileage your 3.8s get-is it possible to get 30mpg+ in a 5 speed? does a performance intake and/or exhaust help? oh, and do they come with limited-slip differentials? Thanks!

My V6 has a 16.8gallon tank. I CAN get 300 some odd miles on a single FULL Tank. but I normally don't get that.

intake and exhaust might help. depending on driving habits.

and if you want a V6 with a Limited Slip Differential you gotta check the door codes for the Y87 code all Y87s come with a upgraded steering rack, Single in Dual Exit Exhaust, Limited Slip Diff. (most came with 3.42s) and a few odds and ends.
