My numbers
97.5 Regal GS K&N stock replacement
AVG: 22.8 (60% highway, 30% city, 10% waiting in line to get on base)
Highway: 28.4(AC on), 29.8 (AC off)
City: No real good idea as I'm never off the freeway that much
All 97.5-2004 Regal GS's are supercharged, some of the earlier ones were too but they used the smaller M62 (62cid) Eaton blowers not the M90 (90cid) blowers of the later engines. If you are looking for a daily driver, even though I'm thinking of selling my 97.5, get a 99 or 00 as they fixed many of the problems that the 97.5 and 98 had and added some nice features while still having most of the fun controls in the hands of the driver instead of coded into the computer. If you're going racing get a 97.5 or 98 since they are the lightest.
Just my owners comments,

Who cares , if you want to have a "quick" car , thats the last thing you worry about... Dont these run on 93 + octane anyways , not like you'll save $$$$... 
I think I smell a troll.
Yes they run on premium. When you have a daily driver you want it to get as good of mileage as possible even if its not the reason you bought it. With the way gas prices are today I am happy about getting better mileage, if it made a difference I might even take the belt of the supercharger and run it through the bypass valve all the time, but I and other people have tried it and there really isn't any difference other than you can run on 87 if you wanted. Seriously leave the dude alone, if you got the cash to pore endless amounts of cash into your gas tank go right ahead, the rest of us will be concerned about how our quick cars do on our wallets.

I've got a brother-in-law with a turbo 5.0. It's a stout vehicle!! By the way, I've always kinda liked those years of notch backs. I missed a deal about three years ago on a black one with grey interior and haven't forgiven myself yet.
