Stock LS3, What's Your Average MPG?
I've got a stock 2012 GS and getting 20.0 average MPG. I know this can vary wildly based on your driving habits and location but what are you getting?

Most of my driving is relatively short trips in town, with traffic and traffic lights. I average somewhere between 19-20 mpg in these conditions. I have an automatic.

My mixed after 7k miles of 50/50 city and highway is 20.6. I drive pretty aggressive, hit bumper to bumper traffic for ~30-45mins daily, and don't monitor or even care about the mpg to be honest.
On the highway it maintains 29-30mpg @ ~80mph on flat roads. Stop and go traffic is a killer though.
Seems like the MPG sweet spot in these cars is at quite a bit higher speed than most vehicles that like 55-60.

I don't really care much either just better than expected. I guess the highway miles tend to even out my lack of control (more frequently than I care to admit) and the city driving.

I have put 1,100 miles on my automatic LS3 since buying it last winter. I set the computer to zero and right now my average mpg is 22.9 with mostly highway type mileage. I live in a rural mountainous area with minimal traffic lights.

16 in real traffic, 25+ on non-traffic highways.
