Obviously not a top priority of Corvette owners but I have been doing a lot of highway mileage recently and I am getting 7.4 - 8.2 litres/100Km in economy mode. Much better than the 9.8 l/100 cited by Natural Resources Canada. I am wondering why the NRC rating is so much higher?

Not sure why the government rating is so high…but when I had my 2016 C7 it was a miser on fuel too. Hwy mileage was always in the 7 range when on cruise control @ 120k. I had a 2016 Ford Fusion at the same time with a turbo 2 litre engine and it was never that good! I put it down to the AFM system cutting the displacement in half and the fact that the Corvette was so aerodynamically slippery compared to the Ford sedan?
welllllllll
in those tests the driver actually pushes the gas pedal
just sayin
yea we get almost 40 mpg at times
yea we speak in mpg as we are also older and can remember actual MILAGE data

I am soon on a 4500km trek to the Maritimes and will most likely be monitoring this feature when cruising and when in “race-mode”.
The range readout does help for planning preferred high octane and/or fuel-brand stops.

The C7 seems to be even more fuel efficient than my C6, I estimate the range on mine to be 900km+, don't know why the govt. rating is so conservative though.
