16 mpg on work commutes, which are only 8 miles each way and have two spots of stop and go. 28-30 mpg on the highway, depending on speed. Best has been 33 mpg, featherfooting at 70 mph in eco mode.
Why does everyone assume when someone posts low MPG that they are driving it hard? Maybe they drive in bumper to bumper traffic everyday and do a ton of idling.

When I traded my 2014 Stingray, 3LT, M7, Z51, NPP, mag ride it had 18700 miles on the car. Lifetime mpg was 24.7. On a why trip, like to MI or FL I would get 30mpg.
My 18 Grand Sport, Aero 2 package, 3LT, M7 has 4920 miles on it, life time is 22.4 mpg. Best I have seen on the hwy, is 24.8 mpg.
Wider tires and Areo 2 package hurt mpg. That said, I still like the grand sport better. Bought it to make me happy, not for mpg.
If you drive a C7 in the manner a C7 is intended to be driven, I think the car will average 13-16 mpg. To get better mpgs than that you'd have to drive it more like the old men most of us are here. Which is why so many of you get high teens +. It's an amazingly efficient vehicle for such a high performance sports car. I regularly get 25 mpg+ on longer highway trips driving the car 70-90 mph.
2019 Z06, best 50 is up to 26.1 mpg cruising home. Worst 50 was 9.2 after Charity Laps at VIR. Current tank is 10.1 with about 2 miles on it after fill up and some idling and moving the car around at the house working on other vehicles. Lifetime is just under 20 now. But that's the computer's story. I use Fuelio for my gas mileage and it shows me what goes into the tank (I know of course that since we aren't supposed to keep trying to fill it after it stops, so this of course could be off some as well) that my last tank was actually at 21.21mpg while the computer said 23.5mpg. Lifetime per Fuelio I'm showing 17.555mpg. Not close to the near 20 that the computer is showing..but again, it could be off based on how close to filling up I get at each stop. I'm sure if I drove it longer (next week to Daytona!) that in a longer cruise on a tank without the stop and go that I've been doing more of that the overall mpg on those cruising tanks will go up some, especially going toward Florida where it's flatter and out of the mountains.
On another note I'm in love with this car. I should of got one a long time ago. Its a blast to drive and works fine as a daily. I expected car to be fast but was surprised how amazing the handling is also. Excited to put long tube headers on soon.
