Zl1 fuel mileage
 
1 Attachment(s)
Took the zl1 on a little getaway with the wife for our 14 year anniversary. We drove from Rochester NY to Fallsview casino in Niagara Falls Canada. So I reset the mpg gauge. I averaged 18 mpg there and back. I think that’s pretty good for the zl1. Considering my 2018 grand Jeep Cherokee gets 20 mpg s. What is everyone else getting mpg?

I'm making about 730whp and i get 22mpg's on the highway and prolly around 13mpg's city

That’s damn good.

Mine is a auto with 538 rwhp. There where a lot of cars on the strip. I lot of dodge’s one hellcat redeye, a hellcat, some srt8. I did see one black looked like a 15 Camaro with a radical cam reving the hell out of his motor.

That’s a good number considering the EPA highway rating is 19.
I am not sure I can get 18mpg on mine. I can’t keep my foot out of it long enough.

On another note, my 2019 Suburban has gotten 21mpg/highway . That’s pretty good for something that size.

For those that think I am not doing my part for the environment, my work car (DD) is a Camry .

I drove it on cruise set to 75 most of the way. No spirited driving.

StreetRage320 06-23-2019 06:52 PM

if I really try, I can get it to creep up near 17MPG, but then I get bored and remember how much fun it is to have lower MPG..

45k miles on my 2013 M6. On the highway I have seen 20+ mpg with the cruise set at 70mph.

So far lifetime average is 15.5 mpg.

tartagliazl1 06-23-2019 07:29 PM

Yeah, it’s not fun to drive using the cruise control. But the wife was with me and she doesn’t like me driving recklessly. When she’s Not in the car I drop the hammer

You know I never really paid attention to it. My last road trip I may have averaged about 15.8 or something like that. My car is stock but with low mileage so I may not yet have my best mpg.

Highway driving at 80 mph on e85, I get 18 mpg. 750+ rwhp thru 4L80e. I imagine it would be better if I still had the TR6060 and used 93 octane.

tartagliazl1 06-24-2019 12:19 PM

I imagine the tuning plays a big roll in how much mpg’s we get.

No. What's been quoted is what it is. 18-20 on the highway and less in mixed and city

2013 M6 MPG
 
for the 2600 miles I've had it, I'm averaging 16.2mpg. Best I've seen for a tank is 19.7. Lowest is 11.8, which was a bunch of rush hour traffic. Which is why I don't drive it to work generally.
