If you have the dash ability ...
Ok let's boast what Corvettes can do as not many of those "tree-huggers" believe us.
Everyone's Corvette is different so it's really a show of Generation and Specification.
C7's should show their economy with the 100km average screen (not instant values)
So I did mine today on a 250km run from Pigeon Lake to Calgary and here's my
dash photo result near my destination ... ta-da !!!
2016 - 3LT - Z51 (a/c was on too)
Average 7.5 l / 100km

Last fall coming back from Vancouver.. Averaged 8.4 for the entire trip... varied between Tour and Sport modes, depending on where I was and what I was feeling at the moment...this pic was pretty typical for all the last leg from Lake Louise to Red Deer... Oh yeah... I'm not a tree hugger so I only recognize "Eco" as a mode found on a bicycle....

Finally a run.jpg

When the gas gauge is close to empty, fitty bucks gets me to town and back 3 times. That's about 4.5 hrs of driving. My abacus says she gets about 13mpg. Ish. 14mpg with the top down!

Yay - I like winning! But seriously, my calcs must be way off cause our C6 & 7s are getting like 38mpg?! I also forgot to mention even after 3 sending units, the gas guage is never quite sure how much french fry oil is in there. Yes, kidding.

HAHAHA. That picture is too funny Franci! I never did calculate the mileage in my 66 396 Chevelle, but I do know it got 100 miles to the tank and cost $100 to fill...but the smiles per gallon were off the chart.
The C5 usually rolls around 6.8 to 7.5 l/100km by what the dic says. I'll have to find the picture.

This may not win, but I thought it was smokin' mileage on the Coquihala for an hour and a half at an average speed of 127 km/h in 7th gear. My buddy's 3/4 ton Chevy truck pulling an enclosed ca trailer loaded with a 68 El Camino got a wopping 29 L/100km!

I love the "touring" mode at 126 in cruise and that you are enjoying your 2015 Corvette with over 16000km on it. Awesome!
