A technical question

Does anyone know what the published EPA gas mileage for my 6 Speed LT-4 Roadster is supposed to be?

What about an LT-1, or an L-98 or L-83 for that matter.

Scroll down near the bottom. You can kick around in that site to find mileage for the others:

From the window sticker of my LT4:

City MPG: 16
Highway MPG: 27

So I guess its about the same as a C5 or C6. Not bad for the older technology.

Over the past 5,000 miles, mostly 'spirited' in town driving with some highway (also 'spirited') I averaged 24.1 MPG. Not bad.

Not that long ago economy cars could not do much better.

The really neat thing is these ratings are easily exceeded.....

30mpg+ on the interstate at 70mph is easy...

Exactly !!
All interstate driving, and it's very easy to exceed 30 mpg

But everyone knows how boring that drive can be

My car won't do quite that good at 70. Maybe if the road was very flat. I bet the convertible robs some aerodynamic efficency. Especially since its usually down. Fair trade!
