Best Fuel Economy?

Just wondering, what is the best mpg average you ZL1 owners have seen? Does it ever go over 19 when cruising on the highway?

I can get 20-22 flat ground @65 hwy. @70 I usually drop to 19-20.

thats about the best this car can get. If you drive it like it is intended I get about 15-16mpg.

I got around 21-22 doing 80 through New Mexico after ADM added a few ponies. Once I got it home and drove it like it was intended I'd be surprised if I got 6.

Either that, or downhill...

Every once in a long while, I can average 23 on the hwy...but that's at speeds of 60-65 and little to no acceleration...conditions which, as you can imagine, rarely occur.
