I can't believe I'm getting this good of gas mileage. Of course the only reason I'm getting such good mpg is because I'm goin 60mph. When I go 75mph I get 23mpg.

Wow. u must be going down hill with a tailwind

Midlife conVert · 09-25-2013, 07:36 PM

Wow Better than my V6 vert! Hard to believe!

I got 30mpg on the homeward bound leg of a road trip about a month after I got my 1SS. I didn't get stuck in any traffic and had the cruise control set for 58mph the entire way. Of course normally I'm happy about 20mpg with it.

Yea goin 60 helps out but sure does make a long drive in Nebraska

I guess you don't believe me. Try it for yourself and see

I had my SS mpg up to 26.7 on a trip to Florida but I admit 16.0 is much more fun

Ryanbabz71 · 09-25-2013, 08:45 PM

I hit about 22 doing 75 on a trip. Pretty amazing for a V-8. My truck gets about 13-14 on the same trip

Gen5SS · 09-25-2013, 09:11 PM

21mpg doing 75, 28 mpg doing 60. I've been leaving for work earlier and doing 60.

JCunningham · 09-25-2013, 09:46 PM

Same here in Az. Coming back from Vegas this weekend, got tired of poking along at 65. Punched it up to the 90 the rest of the traffic was going at. Still got 27.9. But sure made the trip go quicker.

I've seen really low 30s in my ss, but it's not too fun getting there!
