What is your Ave Fuel per gallon on V8 LS3?
I was just out of my curiosity , the manual book says : 24 highway , 16 city .
But the highest number i got is 17.4M Per gallon even if i'm on highway :(, 17.3 (currently) maybe i don't shift it correctly? Let me know what's yours

Hit the highway... cruise in 6th... then reset your "Average" and you'll briefly see your "Instant" mileage. 17 is pretty good for a mix of city & highway |

I get about 24 hiway and 19 city. Mileage is going to vary greatly by how you drive it, how fast you drive the hiway miles, and even what altitude you're at.

Mileage has less to do with the way you drive... and more to do with how many times you have to "stop & go" on the way to your destination...
Red lights... Stop signs... Traffic... I can cruise at 75-80mph on a 600 mile trip and get 24mpg on the highway. |

I usually get around 16-17 MPG... got a ton of stop lights around me and my drives are usually short.
Freeway I have gotten up to 24MPG, but my average tank lasts between 250 - 300 miles. Hope this helps! |

Does cruising use more gas than driving normal on highway?

I'm getting a pretty steady 15.5 to 16.5 around town, Trip to Tahoe in June it averaged about 24.5 with a high of 29.5 coming back down the mountain. I just got back from a trip to Socal and averaged 22.9 (but we kept a pretty good pace on I-5).
