Usually around 20. It's better than my 3.4L V6 so I'm happy.

Does it really matter, each person has a different driving style and different type of driving conditions.

I don't get these kinds of threads. Are you trying to figure out other people's driving habits/conditions? If you really are concerned about your MPG, why didn't you get a hybrid?

I think the thread is intended just to be something fun for a Friday. Why are some of you getting bent out of shape about it?


Mine is 21-22 with very fast highway driving as well as very slow highway driving.

I bought my C5 out of Chicago last March, and drove straight through to CA in 2 days. With the cruise control always on and set from 75 to 85, I averaged 27.4 MPG throughout the entire 2100 miles

Default Mileage
Before mods 28-31 04a4 w/3:15s on road at 75-85. After mods-see sig. 25. These are road miles, not city as I never do enough city driving to run a tank down very far. These figures are from fill-ups, not the computor.
