Before putting the Corsa's on based on the fuel info, 18.5 average and at cruise on the interstate 26 or so instantaneous. Since the Corsa's it has come up to 21.3 average and roughly 32 instantaneous at cruise.
[edit] Just got back from a trip to the coast about 160 RT, reset the fuel info before hand - at average 67 mph (sometimes more) instantaneous at cruise was 30-32 and average from the whole trip was 24.2.

Not much just throwing money at the Vette. LOL. Decided against going to Bowling Green for Memorial... daughter is flying in for that week instead. Hope things are well.7

I didn't buy the vette to be concerned about gas mileage. The only time I've ever checked was on a 4 hour drive to the Street Rod Nationals in Louisville and it got about 24 mpg.

i have never checked my mileage because i could care less. if i got 8 or 28 i would still drive my corvette with thinking about it at all. i would not drive it any less. i don't think we buy our corvettes based on gas mileage.
