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.
|
18 mpg but I do not drive easy and posted highway speed limits are 70-75 mostly.
|
I daily and my commute is about an hour one way 60/40 highway/city.
|
To me this is real world city driving at which if anybody claims more than 10-12mpg is total BS.

4 years of avg. driving, some of this and some of that*** 20.6mpg :yesnod: Don't really care, first time I looked it up

Manual GS, most tanks are 20 - 22 mpg. Can get high 20's if on long trips and keeping speeds lower.
|
To be honest, I never looked or cared.
|
I can probably get 19 or 20, I can tell you that the MPG is lower than I expected. It's quite a bit lower than my LS6 car when I had it.
|
When I am really careful, I might get 18 in all-city driving. But, I love what the car offers, so normally get around 14. It doesn't bother me a bit because I know it is my fault.
|
In the 07 its around 18 in town.
Highway I averaged 27.4 from San Antonio to Joplin Mo. Average speed was 72mph for that trip. lol |
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.
|
I must drive way too easy. My computer says 25.6 avg for the 3500 miles I have owned it. I do live in the country, avoid the city. 09 stick
|
16 to 17. and I drive easy and run 100% gas. the real gas nets me about 1 mpg more than ethanol.
