Turn and burn baby!

20.3 over the last 156 miles, according to my dash; about 70% highway, the rest tear-assing around making some Saudi Shiek rich.

Being an OCD engineer, I've kept mpg record for the 8 years I have owned the C6. Lowest mpg was 16, highest was 32. Average over 55k miles currently on car is 22.8.

2012 GS auto, average 24.6 or thereabouts on my daily commute. Round trip is about 54 miles, roughly 90% highway and 10% surface streets with traffic lights. I go in early so no traffic but the trip home invariably has pretty heavy traffic.

Last road trip 2 months ago from San Diego to Talladega to Bowling Green to Charlotte and back to San Diego, I got over 25. That includes flying across Texas, Arizona and New Mexico. One thing I noticed. The car lies (a little). I have an app that figures out MPG on my phone to the mile and the car was always just under .4 MPG high.

`10 GS convertible A6 - just returned from a 4500+ mile road trip, avg. speed 58.2, avg. MPG 25.9. Nearly all the freeway driving we did was at 75-80, mountain driving (Beartooth Hwy, Custer State Park, Rocky Mtn Nat'l Park) was 35-40. Just my opinion that these cars get better mileage at 80 than 55-65.

15 to 16 on my 07. Never more than 16 even with a 5 hour drive. Guess I need lighter shoes.

My '08 averages 26.7. If I keep it under 65, it averages 34 mpg and when I get on the interstate, it drops considerably.

'13 GS coupe, I get 26 highway @ 80 mph but daily driving to work and around town only 14 to 15. Tear assing through the mountains is less. I reset it every fill up.
