Average and freeway mileage are similar to those above.

But if you want to see some some scary numbers, keep the DIC on instant mileage while driving around town.

1st gear acceleration - 4 mpg
2nd gear - 8

Averaging about 23 MPG with 8500 miles on my 05 C6. About 60%-70% of my mileage is between towns at 55-60 MPH. The rest is in town. Hardly ever get on the interstate.

If I don't reset the control - I get about 18-19 mpg in town. I drove to LA from Las Vegas and back last Saturday and got 27.2 of which part was stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic on 101 in LA and then running well above 100 between Barstow and Baker on the way back. I looked at the instant mpg when I was at 110 on cruise and it was 25 mpg. I love this car on the road.

C6 A4 - Daily driver average over first 12k miles is 22.
Average on recent 2500 mi road trip was 27.
I won the Eureka Springs fuel economy run for the C6/A4 category with just over 32mpg.
