How to get better MPG in the C6? What is your average MPG?
i've been leaving my info display to show MPG, and im usually hitting around 17.2 MPG. i noticed in the wintertime in CA, i would get 18+ Driving most city sometimes highway. There used to be so many infomercials back in the day for a product called zmaxx. But I never see them anymore maybe it was a gimmick
I run stp fuel injector cleaning every oil change

I didn't buy it for gas mileage. Thats what a Civic is for. It gets what it gets.

Work commute from home 24 mpg
Weekend drive to visit wife mid 30s (seems like 32-33 one way and 36-38 other way) yes one way is downhill and other uphill
Work commute from rental 5mpg
Typically on the display... 22 as long as it's been a day since visiting the wife.

My '06 Z06 661 HP with this kind of mileage the ricers can suck it! I took this coming home from a car show on the interstate last winter.

My mileage is so great sometimes I have to stop and siphon out a gallon or it overflows.
No but seriously, 7 gears in a narrow-gated shifter and some computerized mechanicals that cuts out cylinders to go haywire and need repair$ is part of why I didn't get a C7. If MPG was my thing I'd have a diesel
Golf.

0 mpg. It gets what it gets when it gets it. Depending on wind speed and direction, uphill or downhill or flat, how hard/fast I push on the skinny pedal, etc, etc, etc. Who cares??? Sorry, end of rant.

Reason I am asking, I no longer have the stock fuel injectors and I know my DIC is off.
