What kind of MPG is your LS3 getting?
Not like that is the reason why we are buying/bought the LS3 SS, but I was just curious as to what kind of MPG numbers people are getting once the LS3 is broken in. So go ahead and state your octane and MPG numbers!

91 Octane 1600 miles. Averaging 18.5 - 19 in mixed driving 60% city 40% highway. I have seen as low as 12-13 MPG with only neighborhood driving (picking up and dropping off the kids). I've also seen as high as 20.9 for mountain driving and NOT being easy on it for 400+ miles. Haven't really taken it on a long flat road trip.

Hello!
|
DIC says 18.1 and on a recent trip from San Antonio to Kansas and back to San Antonio I averaged 25.7.
More than happy with my mpg so far...almost 5,000 miles on the car and nothing but 93 octane save for one tank full while passing thru Oklahoma where it would seem 91 octane is the highest you can get? WTF? |

17 and change. Mostly city, some stop and go. Stop & go traffic kills the mpg. 93 octane

Anyways, I'm getting around 17.5 mixed driving, mostly city. Probably 15 - 16 city, but on a highway trip I got just over 24. |

16MPG average, mostly freeway. I know I drive a little "aggressive" but there is no way you can get the advertised 24mpg and still have fun
