C7 Z06 fuel economy

[kevm14]

Yeah, it's pretty fast around a track and even comfortable to daily drive. But does it get good fuel economy?

3. Mileage... My average mileage for this entire trip so far (1243 miles) is 21.8mpg and this includes my aggressive driving through the Shanandoahs, BRP, Tail and the Smokies, along with the fact that much of my trip is 10mph over the limit...so 85 mph on average. V4 mode does not click in above 80mph.

My mileage at 80mph averages out to 21.7mpg, 75 mph it jumps to 25mpg and if I hold it at 60 mph this thing will level off at an incredible 27.9mpg. These totals were determined with air on always and over a period of 200 miles each. Wow!!

Apparently, yes. Very speed sensitive, likely due to aero.

Pretty much the same with mine. Did six plus hours to Bloomongton Gold from Missouri traveling 75-80 and got 28.4 mpg. With driving around town and return trip got 25.5. Temps basically the same. Stage one with added side skirts.

This would be fun to confirm:

I have never touched or even looked at any of those mileage meters and have almost 5k miles on the car now. The C6Z will get 25mpg cruising at 100mph, for reference.

So you are saying I should buy a C7 Z06 as a commuter to up my mileage?
