14-15mpg....

I go through at least 1/4 tank per track session.

If there is 5 sessions on track day I have to go for a fill up close by.

My display right now says 16.1, best on highway is 19.2 and worse around town is 4.6. But around town I drive it like I stole it. Unless my wife is with me then I have to be grandpa driving.

[QUOTE=Emvici;8254181]Aaron, People posting 17-19 are posting their very best highway mpg and not their average including city driving. QUOTE]

My average of 16.1 is over the ENTIRE 22,000 miles, and that includes plenty of city driving. During the summer months, my ZL1 is my DD including a 70 mile round trip to work.

My best mileage driving over Leavenworth Wa. thru winding mountainous winding roads. I was very surprised to get 16.87 mpg hand calculated. I was expecting 8 mpg with as much spirited driving as I was doing.

These cars have a gas guzzler tax for a reason.

I'm pretty sure my 6.2L Sierra gets better mileage than my ZL1 while the Sierra is pulling the ZL1 in a 24' enclosed trailer...

3,000 miles on her and city driving average 16 and 19 on the highway, playing by the rules. My 2012 CTS-v wasn't any better.

I understand that but my truck came with a gas guzzler tax as well and to say that a stock 4000lb car that has supercharged v8 could get the same mpg as a 6100lb truck with 4.10 gears, 35 inch tires and to also make note of on average I drive my truck a lot harder than i do my car. Mpg's are all over the place here so I guess I just have a more thirstier zl1 than most of the people commenting on here. I can remember clearly on the window sticker of 16 mpg in the city. I understand that fluctuates with every owner but as far as my driving habits are concerned I haven't been driving my car hard due to its rear tires being pretty worn out... I don't think worn tires justify for that low of a number and Ive made note that I hit half a tank a lot faster than other vehicles I've had.

A6 w/ 32,000 miles. I took a 5 hour trip the other day and got 19-22 MPG all highway. Averaged 16 MPG with some city driving.

My lifetime average is 13 MPG. I drive mostly city with some highway.

That's with all my mods in my signature
