#22 of 25 Re: Mileage varies based on mods [carone] by starrow68 Mar 04, 2008 (9:03 pm)
Replying to: carone (Mar 02, 2008 6:16 pm) The key to good mileage as noted is to stay off the throttle. Also, I think the 6sp will get better mileage than the auto, which has two rear end ratios. One is pretty good for mileage and the other is not very good in the auto. This is for C5's but is probably close for the c6 as well. My best trip was close to 30mpg from Fernley, NV to the SF bay area, which of course has lots of down hill , and that was pencil and paper calc. Mileage drops off as you start to push past 70mph, as would be expected. Randy
#23 of 25 '09 Auto Coupe by dwarfl0rd Jun 01, 2009 (5:50 pm)
I have a '09 Auto Coupe C6 Vette with 5,xxx miles on it. I just took a 1,3xx mile trip from Va. to TN and back and I averaged 31MPG for the entire trip. Wait till this car is broken in! I also averaged 70.4MPH. This car gets great Hwy fuel economy because its revs are so low. My car has 430+HP and is the most efficient Hwy car I own. City driving is not so good. Im in Stop/Go traffic the whole 12 miles of my commute to work and get about 18MPG, which is not bad at all for that kind of driving.
#24 of 25 2008 MPG by gearup72 Jun 16, 2009 (7:00 pm)
I have a 2008 corvette base with Auto, F55, and dual mode exhaust.   I get 25 to 27 MPG on the highway at speeds of 70-80.   I get 20 to 22 MPG in mixed driving.
#25 of 25 93 Ruby she get's about the same by gmscam Sep 02, 2009 (4:05 am)
My baby averages 17-19 city and log hauls 29 give or take a a mile. Don't really watch it that often or notice changes with speed but that's pretty consistant for her when I do check. Glad to know I'm not crazy when I tell people what I'm getting they say can't be.
