I drive 1,000 miles a week. Mostly hwy at 80 mph. 180 miles a day. I fill up twice a week and using the gal/trip method I get an actual and solid 20.8 every time, but I have a few mods. 2SS/RS 6 Sp Manual.

I average around 14.25 in my LS3, 95% city.. my average speed is 29 mph.

AZCamaroFan · 07-29-2011, 11:59 AM

To be exact the SS is manual is about 3,860, and the auto is 3,900!

Greatly depends on what mood im in and music im listening to. Over the past 4k+ miles without resetting i am at 23.4 with a daily trip of 89 miles for work. there has been a few times the car has seen triple digit speeds during this run and a lot of cruising, set at 60, on the back roads in early mornings. I have done a few tests in the past where i set the DIC and set cruise to test it. max i have gotten was 32 (on the back roads) and i see 29 on the interstate with cruise set. Over all with my driving habits i get 23 to 24 averages.

Oh, and i dont go into the cities unless im with the family and then we use the Denali. So that is pretty much all back road and interstate readings.

Jebus," Buckwheat "weighs in at around 3200lbs. Guess thats why a C-5 gets good mileage.

chevyk1 · 07-29-2011, 02:47 PM

Just throwing out there . I have a slow leak in one of my tires and you would be surprised how much the mpg changes as the pressure goes down even by a few psi. So just make sure you have your tires at the right pressure. Could be contributing to some of the lower numbers

People claiming 18 mpg CITY with an SS LOL You need to share your secret with GM and the EPA.

RichGreene · 07-29-2011, 02:54 PM
