Average mph?
With almost a year into having my 2007 Z51 C6, I noted today that my average speed has been 35.2 mph and I started wondering what other owners average speed has been for a given period of time and if I am fast, slow, or average.

My DIC says 22.3 mph avg, but i only drive one mile to work and one mile back, plus round trip home for lunch. So that's 4 miles a day, plus i do a Vette cruise with a bunch of other Vettes once a month thats a avg of around 150 miles a cruise.

It depends on how many highway miles you drive compared to in-town miles...there is no "normal" number.
Over a little more than two years, most of the my driving TIME has been spent on city streets, but most of the MILES have been run up on several long distance trips. I never zero one trip odometer, the average speed, or the average fuel mileage. I haven't checked the instruments recently, but the total mileage is about 4900 miles, and average speed is around 41-43 mph. Average fuel mileage over this period is about 22-23 mpg. FWIW.
If you use your car as a daily driver in town, and you are agressive in your driving, your average speed may be significantly lower and your mileage will be similarly reduced.

Yep I agree with JmpnJckFish. Coming up on 20K miles. I avg around 18mpg and 38 mph with a split between side road twisters and Hwy. Sure enjoy them twisters. On long Hwy trips it is common for me to get better then 25mpg.
