Range..416 miles!

Gassed up after a 255 mile drive back up north for work.Gassed up at dead "E". So yes,it's true that you can get over 400 miles out of a tank of gas in your VETTE!!Mine is an 08 Z51 mz6.Total mileage today is 520.

I though that this would be interesting news!Happy Easter.Sorry for the crappy picture.I suck at digital when I'm standing still,never mind driving!!

Sounds a little low. I'm averaging about 27.5 mpg on the interstate X 18 gal = 495 miles.

But I think it uses your recent mileage and my overall mileage is about 22 mpg X 18 = 396, so your 416 is probably about right.

Yes, the Vette does have great range. I hit 500 miles a couple times and the idiot light still did not come on. 400 is usually around the 1/4 mark.

The only weird thing tonight is the gas gauge was on "E" so the low range message came on as expected.Then it went to low fuel,then it went to 53 miles range then 48,42 and then it just went to low range again and stayed there.Seemed to jump around for a minute there.I'm real happy with the 416-417 range though!This is at 73-75 mph!!
