This is my "play" car, it doesn't see but a couple thousand miles a year, so fuel economy isn't an issue.
And actually, I only lost about 1-2mpg on the highway with the TC, and about 3-4mpg when splitting a tank between city and highway. I have a feeling I'll lose a few more mpg in a couple days when I switch out the 2.73 rear end for a 3.73 rear end.
Wouldn't mind having me a turbo Buick though.
