1994 C4 Low MPG
Have had a 1994 C4 LT1 6spd for about 4 months. Not a daily driver so first time I have actually calc'd MPG between fills based on the mileage and quantity of fill up. About 120 miles in 2 months for reference. It seems absurdly low at 7.24 MPG.
Caveats: I live in LA, so most of the time I am in traffic, stop/go. I did some hard driving in the canyons (30 miles or so) where I was running it pretty hard.I'm not noticing any engine faults just as a function of driving around, haven't gotten under the hood about this. Any thoughts on troubleshooting this, or is this low MPG possible given conditions in LA and a bit of hard driving?
Thanks for any tips on items to take a look at. This is my first Corvette so I'm learning as I go.
