Hamilton to Lake Lure, NC round trip, 13 days...
For the membership who appreciate good old' Imperial measurement...
I drove from Southern alberta to Las Vegas and back, about 4000km round trip doing mostly 140 to 150km/hr and averaged 9.7l. In my z51 convertible
That even beats the 22l I get at 30 to 40 kph around town in my Tundra .
Y’all lucky
Wow that’s crazy! Do you have to fill up that often such that the number makes sense? Or is there a computer glitch?
wait a minute- that’s a truck of some type isn’t it?
Good thing fuel is cheap.
Radar detector?
Only drive in V-mode with the paddle shifters which destroys fuel. Also, in V-mode, the truck is pouring raw fuel into the combustion chamber to make the exhaust pop and crackle. Loudest I’ve seen in any vehicle from the factory and I’m sure that isn’t good for fuel economy.
Yes I do but it's also nice the speed limit most of the way is 80mph so even if I got pulled over it's not a crazy amount over
140km is only 87mph. They are already giving you 80, so it doesn't seem as excessive as it sounds...
Valid point.Yes I do but it's also nice the speed limit most of the way is 80mph so even if I got pulled over it's not a crazy amount over

If the C8's are like the trip comp in the C4's then your 27.2 MPG is based on the U.S. gallon, which would be 32.7 Canadian MPG. Proof our corvettes are econo boxes (LOL)
