624.7 Gallons - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Billy10mm · 04-21-2015, 07:08 PM

Roughly what my 1LE has consumed in the 10K miles I've put on since I took delivery almost exactly a year ago. I keep a log and have the following general stats:

Num Gallons Consumed
624.694

Current Mileage (as of last gas fill-p on 4/18/2015)
9991

Average Fuel Economy
15.99343038

Aside from fuel and cleaning/detailing supplies, I've spent $1667.16 on the car which includes:

Gorilla Locks
3 oil changes (about to go in for my fourth)
Elite Engineering catch can
SLP Skip Shift Eliminator
NY State Inspection
ZL1 Rock Guards
MRR-228 wheels (for winter)

This year we'll be adding at least 4 sets of tires to that number, and at least 1 set of brake pads if not two. Among other things.

Anyone else keep records and have any stats to date?

By the way, they have been the best 625 gallons of gas I've ever used.

I'm pushing 20 "babying it"...excluding on-ramps...

Last 200-mi road trip I took, managed to get 25mpg.

I always brag on the potential mpg, but I cant prove it after ruining it on the canyon and mountain roads.

9991 Miles / 624.694 Gallons of Fuel = 15.99343038 Miles per gallon

EDIT: Nevermind, misread your post :P

Elvira1le · 04-21-2015, 11:35 PM

Normal driving (don't ask ) I have averaged 20.2 for the last year. Just reset the avg.mpg in the computer. A lot of my driving is highway so that 75+ lets it loaf along in mostly desert driving.

Elvira1le · 04-21-2015, 11:40 PM

why are you paying for oil changes ?

No one has actually seen Billys 1le not even Billy himself.

Mark T · 04-22-2015, 12:51 AM

I want to know how he gets over 600 gallons brought in under cover of darkness.

Ninja gas?

High tire pressures and almost always having family in the car with me. My 1LE is my daily driver and my wife commutes with me, so I'm rarely above 2-grand on the tach with her in the car and always doing my best to keep things smooth.

On the weekends, the wife and boys are in the car with me. So same rules apply.

gajagfan · 04-23-2015, 08:47 AM

Life time average for our car with just over 28K miles on it is 18.3 mpg. I am on it when I can, but this includes plenty of longer trips with the cruise set at 79 as well. It is my daily driver.

I'm not fond of taking snap shots, so I don't. But I did give the car a good wash last year, then drive to a local hospital parking lot and spend 45 minutes on a shoot. Lighting wasn't great, but you do what you can:

Here however, is a rare snapshot after cleaning:

I'm glad I'm not the only one that keeps stats like this. Haha
