Welcome to the Corvette Forums at the Corvette Action Center!

what gas mileage do you get

I just recently finished about a 300 mile run down I-95

Where just to keep up with the traffic one has to stay just slightly above 80 MPH, even with getting on it a few times, fastest about 135, I managed 23.5 miles to the gallon.
 
When I first got the car I was getting an average of 14-14.5 mpg. After I gave her a tune up I got, and still get 16 mpg. That's around town and the commute to work on the highway about 10 miles. I can't complain about 16 mpg at all. It sounds funny, but that is way better gas economy over my last vehicle. (I had a jeep wrangler lifted up on 35's thornbirds!) In the jeep I got 10 mpg!:L
 
15 to 17 in town, and around 23 to 25 on the road
 
91 w/ auto trans. and 2.59 gear gets 28 hwy/22 city.96 w/ 6-speed and 3.43 gear gets 26 hwy/ 20 city.
 
17-18 city, can't complain for 300HP
 
the 89 roadser bonestock 6speed has gotten as good as 30 MPG highway
The 89 coupe with a beefed up 383 6speed has gotten 23+ MPG highway
both at arond 70 MPH using 6th gear
No complaints here!
 
On cruse control at 70 mph on the hwy : 20 mpg with the C4, 29 mpg with the C5

Normal driving 20% city 80% hwy : 14 mpg with the C4 and 18 mpg with the C5. I have an heavier foot with the C5 than the C4.


4-5 mpg with both at track.
 
My '88 coupe with K&N, Open air lid, no frisbee and true dual exhaust, automatic and 2:59 rear:

16-17 in the city
27-28 on the highway
 
Around town when gas was above 3 bucks = 17-18 MPG. When gas prices are under $2.50 TWELVE MPG:L
On road trips if I keep it below 90 26-30 MPG. My car is pretty efficient if I can keep my right foot off of the floor.
My around town milage has gotten better since my 2.59-3.45 rear end swap; however, I lost a little highway milage.
