18mpg
This car never got better than 20 stock. My first 2010 got 24 with long tubes, airaid intake and a hypertech tuner.
Now...with the 3.70 gears and a blower, it gets 18. The only way I can get 20 is at 60-65. I know this supposedly isn't bad....but it makes me want a manual vette. My old FRC got 30mpg modded. The car goes like stink and the wide band verifies how good ted's tune is. I'm just venting to all of those that are claiming mid 20s supercharged. I want to know if you guys are verifying that off fuel receipts vs the computer.

My almost stock SS gets less than 14 around town ... And the new one is rated at only 18, so I know I'll get way less than that.

Driving habbit plays a large role into it, altitude, flat or hilly roads etc.
My driving habbit and with my current modifications in sig below, I only get 7mpg according to the DIC. Gas reciepts show about 8-9 average.

It is all driving habits...I think 18 is pretty good and I am getting about that with city/hwy combined.

I used to get ~19 mpg, but now that it's been below 32* I've been seeing 17.5... if I reset the log before I get on the highway, when I get home it usually reads 22mpg...but then around town goes back down to 18-19...

I get 19 according to the computer and I've never reset it, so that's my overall average for all ~6,000 miles I've driven the car. My next 230 mile trip home I plan to measure the mileage using receipts. Unfortunate thing about receipts is that you see how much you spent on gas.
