It depends on the driving style around town I get around 15 to 18. I drive hard on the highway so it maybe lower. When you start feeding your car boost you want enough fuel

28.6 MPG putting at 70 MPH! now sometimes I have actually go 29+ just putting down the hill from my home in Palmdale!

Now usually on the way home and driving on the freeway at 75 - 85 MPH I am averaging 26.8 MPG without the heavy foot

Then this all goes out the window as soon as I B@@ST it and make a few runs but if the wife and I are on the drive down the coast it is safe to say 28 MPG!

It's all in the tune

Thanks,Matt

If you're not getting 10mpg in the city you're not having enough fun

Tony, that is close to what I get around town, so much fun boosting away that I did not build my toy to get 20 around town. On the two trips I have had my Vette on with the wife (no or little boost), I have got 22 mpg. Those are the only time I get much above 17 as I have a very heavy right foot. I like to see 12lbs of boost all the time, if not I am not having fun and soon I will get to see more as I put on a smaller pulley and go 8 rib

Average highway driving is 18 mpg. City driving, ?. I haven't tried to determine what the milage is. When I put my foot down, it goes as low as 1 mpg.

Believe it or not I still hover around 27-28 on the hwy as long as I'm driving easy in 6th gear. These cars are amazing, even with 550+ RWHP, I still get great gas mileage

You gotta love Corvette's

Last spring when I went to Florida for spring break, I averaged 28.5 MPG there and back with the cruise set at 78 almost the whole time (my average through Indiana was over 29 because it is all flat). M6 with 550 RWHP.

Driving like normal around town, I average 13-14mpg. Off boost, it goes up to about 15-16mpg. On the freeway driving 70, I'll see 26-28. Take it up to 80 though, and it goes up to 32.

All of this goes out the window when the tires start spinning and the D1 starts screaming.
