Really happy with my MPG

[ABMLS3]

8-10 mpg but my avg. speed is under 20 because I don't go on highways a lot since my schools down the block. On highways it's around 15mpg

[SSeniorMoment]

I guess I won't complain about my 22.5, but I live in a very rural area.

I'm at 22.6-7ish..on winter fuel and mainly highway driving..just had the first service done and the weather is well above freezing for a change hopin to see mid 20's this summer

What I have learned if you drive like you have a prius you get good MPG. If you drive like you have a Camaro you get crappy MPG. But I am ok with crappy MPG.

Wow..that's surprising. ..I get 24.7 on my 11 LT2/RS...and I'm a very aggressive driver

I average around 18-19 depending on how I drive. When i'm just driving back and forth to work i'm doing lots of skip shifts, casually driving I almost never hit all 6 gears.

I'll do 1st -> 3rd -> 5th then sixth, or 2nd -> 4th -> 6th, or even though I have a skip shift eliminator I will actually do a 1st to 4th shift. It really does help fuel mileage to skip gears. If I don't skip gears I notice about a 2mpg average drop.

You have a lot to learn about SS performance if you think they are only capable of mediocre fuel mileage.

Especially at speed

Reason for Auto: Too much freaking traffic on 580 n 680 during mornings, takes me on average an hour to an hour-n-half one way. With the Cam I can zoom past traffic and overtake in the carpool lane from time to time. Having a Manual would kill my legs and the transmission within a couple of days.

But I know that I'll probably hit high 13's or so...I can't keep my foot off the gas in the city, have to rev up that V8 to get all eyes on me

I must be crazy cause when I lived in the bay area, I lived in Fremont and drove to Berkley or SJ for work everyday. I did this in a '00 WS6 with a insane cam, M6, spec III clutch, LTs, 3" duals, no cats, and 4.10s.... Funny thing is I didn't have a problem driving it at all....my 1LE feels really tame on the street compared to my old car.

Like a Prius? Not sure what you mean by that most the Prius near me drive like their hairs on fire. Weaving in out of traffic doing 15-25 MPH over the speed limit. I can only guess that cops don't pull them over because they are to busy laughing when they see them go by.

Well during morning times 7-8 I am usually stuck in traffic bumper to bumper for a couple minutes and it opens up then goes back to slower and slower. It is very sad.

I would take the 1LE I don't mind, just that family doesn't know how to drive manual and I kinda went with that idea, plus at times it gets frustrating switching gears. All I say is that you gotta love the piece of art you're in whether manual or auto. Next car will be a Manual though

HAHA I can relate to that. People fly by me in Lexus on highways and they're in Prius lol...
When I see one I just hear Jeff Dunham in my head saying "....I'mmmmm Gaaayyyy..." hahah

Drove from Minneapolis to New Brunswick, NJ to visit my girlfriend when she was at Rutgers.

I averaged 24.x MPG on the way there, and 25.x on the way back, until I got a challenge from an SRT8 through Wisconsin.

I wouldn't use 5th and 6th gears much during break-in

It's fine as long as you don't lug the engine... And that applies to every gear..
