C8 gas mileage .

[Bunny hop]

Decided to check mine and Trip 1 is 7,000 km and average is 19L / 100 km. No idea how you are getting such fuel mileage. Maybe as movie Ken Miles maybe said "... but if you ask me this isn't your car, your car's more a Plymouth .... Studebaker"

19 L / 100 kms? I thought my foot was heavy ! My average is 13.5.

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 .

Wow that’s crazy! Do you have to fill up that often such that the number makes sense? Or is there a computer glitch?

 

[harshadt]

wait a minute- that’s a truck of some type isn’t it?

Radar detector?

 

[scraze66]

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.

Radar detector?

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

 

[Jack Raccoon!]

140km is only 87mph. They are already giving you 80, so it doesn't seem as excessive as it sounds...

Valid point.

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)
