Finally a MPG thread!
 

I don't think we've had one of these here yet, I could be wrong but like my wise old Grandfather used to say... "What ya gonna do?":bilmem:

Anyhow.... Driving from Suffolk, VA to Northern MI I averaged 24.1 MPG with speeds generally around 80 - 90mph on the highway with a couple triple digit runs thrown in for good measure.:auto:

I have heads, cam, Vararam, 3200 stall, 3:42 gears, blah, blah, blah. I don't know if 24MPG is considered good but this is the first time I actually checked it since I've had the car and I can live with it.

OK, I got the ball rolling, let's here what everyone else is getting. :cheers:

Sounds reasonable given your mods...

I've never bothered to check mpg, but I do know this. With just headers/air filter, I used to be able to make it from here to Bowling Green on one full tank.

520 miles - 18.5gal tank would be 28mpg, so I was averaging better than that.

I've been there twice since heads/cam, and know I can no longer make it on one tank, but never calculated to see just how bad it is. May have to do that next May. :)

:takdir::takdir:Did Texas to Carlisle last year have H/C intake etc In 01 Z06 doing manual calcs I averaged 28 mpg I'm down 2 mpg from stock #s

We just came back from a trip, I put a 1,000 miles on it and spent a lot of the time in the 80 to 90 range. I reset it when we left and the avg.was 24.7 MPH.

I have the same gears and a stall.

I avergaed 30 MPG on the Hot Rod Power Tour this year. 2K miles

From home to Florida was 32

I call BS.


(I don't really call BS but this thread isn't growing the legs I thought it would so I need to add a little accelerant.)

I checked mine On Florida I-95 once going 65mph cruise on and got 29.5 ,hell at 60mph you are barely doing 1500 RPM .

mpg
 

Did 400 miles last Wednesday. Avg 30.1mpg at 75-80 mph.

Don't have the hot rear end gears...what i lose off the line i make up for in mpg...

I also have the 2.73 gears,that is why I get great MPG.

I hear the C-6's are getting 30 MPG

Coming back from carlisle in august, 2 people lot of luggage and stuff,avg.70-75 mph. 29.2 vararam, and tune and B&B exhaust 6 speed Ken

Last fall from Columbus to St. Francisville, LA.

Reset the average mileage when I filled up in Nashville heading south and pulled into St. Francisville showing 34.9 MPG on the DIC.

One days drive with about 95% of it freeway. :seasix:

Overall did 7 states and 2,331 miles.

Ohio to
Kentucky to
Tennessee to
Mississippi to
Louisiana to
Alabama to
Georgia to
Tennessee to
Kentucky and back to
Ohio

I pulled back into the driveway showing 31.9 MPG.

On a few runs to my parents house (480 mile round trip) I have gotten 28 mpg consistantly. :seasix:

From D.C. to Florida and back, averaged slightly under 42 MPG. 878 miles each way.

Oh. Wait. C5 Open Discussion. My bad. :D

8.8 mpg average in the 97' at VIR over 2 days.........:D

:lol: That's about what I am, I need to get a final tune, but right now i'm averaging between 10 -15mpg. :D

:D, hell the blue one got 22 coming back from FL!

Sure, using cruise control and stuff..I don't drive my vette..except when i'm beating on it :yesnod:

AM I too late for a rebuttle:barnbabe: From Missouri to Florida is downhill. People may laugh but I have actually calculated fuel that way and you do get a little better when traveling south, over a long distance.

Hahaha, that was beating on it........pinging and all :D
Hell the 97' with an A4 still get 19+ :seasix:
