If you get on the highway you will do better. In the past week, I did two road trips in the ZL1 from Milwaukee to to the tip of Wi upper peninsula. 400 mile round trip going mostly 70 MPH while taking off ramps every ~30 miles and getting right back on. Way up its much more twisty with varied speed. First trip I averaged 19.1 and the second 19.4.

11 city, 14-15 mix and 19 highway seems right. My 04 GTO with 5.7 LS1 gets 15 city, 18-19 mix and 24 highway.

I just did a 400 mile drive and got 19.5 mpg with the cruise control set @76mph.

I normally get 15-16mpg around town. I get about 6mpg on the track.

ZL1 MPG

Here's some stats on my manual 2013 stock ZL1. Commute to work is 12 miles each way of stop and go 35-45mph streets(about 13MPG). Going to Thunderhill Raceway, a 180 mile drive with an average speed of 70MPH and taking it very easy and as much as possible in sixth/cruise control about 19mpg. 20 minute sessions on the roadcourse dropped it down to 4mpg.

The variables are how hard you drive and stop and go driving kills the mpg.

I too get 10-11mpg. Lots of DC traffic. I use nothing but 93 octane from BP, Exxon, or Shell.

Impressive App and data! It looks like you're even more anal than me. I have always logged every gas fill or maintenave item into a book and then put it into a spreadsheet periodically to get similar data. It impresses buyer when it comes time to sell.
