The picture above was just to show what mpg capabilities bolt on V8's have.

Real world driving I avg like 15mpg both highway and city combined.

I found that I have been getting like 22mpg to 23mpg when not getting on it to much. Also I think I get better gas mileage since installing the CAI. But like the other members its how its driven and I say drive baby drive...

Or fill the tires with helium. That was actually posted on another forum, and because it was on the Internet, I believe it.

Highest I've seen on my 2013 SS auto so far is 22 mpg for highway.

Like others say driving habits and commute make a difference.

My other car is a hemi charger 2011. I average 20 but my wife averages 8. She has only a 1 mile commute so the cold start and shutdown 1 mile away really hurts it....OR.... SHE DRIVES THAT THING AT WOT!

Get her a dash cam and watch her burnouts.

Got 26 today just typical driving, all highway. I wasn't going slow, I stayed slightly faster than traffic the whole way. Even hit a rest stop to stretch. We did 306 miles. At one time, the DIC was reporting 27 but then we hit traffic.

What speed were you driving? I think mine will read that high if I'm going around 60-65 mph.

Varied. Most of the time it was around 65 but anytime I was able to get in front of traffic is get back to to 75 to 80.

I'm on the stock PZero tires. Tires could influence mileage. Are you on stock tires?

Nah, I'm onboard. I've seen close to this out of mine.

Every time I fill up, 18 gallons, the DIC says my range is 160 miles.
