If I really get on it I've seen the average in the teens, but normal town/hwy mix I get 21-23. Best I have got was 25 when it was brand new, and I know I could have gotten better cause I was getting on it and there was some town driving too.

I've never been above 16 mpg. Just filled up today and I got 14.9 mpg on the last tank. That's with A/C on all the time and about a 60% city 40% highway split.

I'm not calling you crazy or anything - but are you sure you're using Standard measures, and not metrics??? These cars should BARELY get 25 highway miles. I don't see how any performance V8 would be getting 21-23 in the city [&:] Maybe your computers wacked out. Are you really getting 365-375 miles on a 16 gallon tank?? If so, then drive that baby and enjoy the fact that you are stopping about 125 miles after we are [8D]

I've been averaging 12.5 to 14.8

I was averaging 17.1 mpg until the first oil change at 3000 miles. Now it is averaging 19.1 mpg. I guess the sngine has broken in.

Sowaxman...

It happens... in fact... my 94 LT2 Corvette got 33mph on the highway with the AC off and on cruise.

Gas Tank holds 16Gallons... I thought it was an 11 gallon tank... that is what I can put in when the computer starts screaming at me that I have 0 miles to empty. Looks like I have another issue to add to my "Get Fixed" list.


With my GT I am getting

15 to 17 when I Play.

19 round town average

23 on the highway.

I just did a 1200ish mile road trip, drove like a bat out of hell ( 533 miles in 6 hours 50 minutes ) and I got 26 mpg. Can't complain about highway miles at all. City driving...now that is another story.

I am getting 22 MPG on average. Almost all of which is on the freeway with little or no traffic and no A/C.

Not bad I think.
