Fuel economy..... WHO GIVES A #%*t!!!! If you want fuel economy than this is not the car for you. Performance and fun comes with a price! Just feed it when it's hungry and enjoy the car for what it was made for!

Still, if you have a extremely low MPG you most probably have an issue. So ofc you need to GIVE A #%*t!!!!

Could be issues with drivetrain, injection etc... You should always know your equipment.

Here are my statistics for every fill up since the car had 9 miles in the odometer. I have only filled it up with 93 octane and tried very hard to break it in properly.

2013 ZL1 M6 vert with 16,500 miles, and lifetime average of 16.1mpg

jessrayo · 06-02-2014, 09:49 AM

I think I have the record for bad, while at the Texas mile I was averaging 1.2 gallons per mile run on VP Q16 race fuel.

haha - that was the whole point of asking. I think what everyone is averaging sounds right compared to what I got.

Did my first refuel and fuse pull. Been averaging 15 MPG city and seeing a good increase in power from where it was. Thanks again to everyone who provided input. I know you gotta pay to play but 13-15 MPG city is better than 8 that I got last week.

2013 Manual ZL1. I average about 14/22 with mine.

The car was averaging 16.4 combined before it was broken in. Now it's averaging 18-19 combined.

I average high 16's (16.7 - 16.9) in combined driving. Did a highway trip and got just shy of 21 on two tanks...always use 93 octane. Manual trans and normally conservative use of throttle although sometimes I do have fun. Going to do part of the Hot Rod Power Tour next week so I'm guessing single digits for a few tanks....

I have 2014 ZL1 and am getting 16.5 mpg daily driving, some of it is on the Freeway. I have a RotoFab CIA to install and hope I can get a little better.

DarthZL1 · 06-11-2014, 08:50 AM

Just picked up my ZL1 last Friday. It had 9 miles on it. The computer is telling me I'm averaging 15.8 MPG. The computer is a filthy liar.

I haven't done any real highway driving yet.
