MPG with Manual Trans

I was wondering what kind of miles per gallon people are getting with their ZL1 manual. This isn't an economy car, but thought it would be interesting to see anyway. Let us know if yours is a 1LE or not.

On a normal week, I get 14.5mpg.

That said, I took it to Charleston, SC from Raleigh, NC for a funeral 2 weeks ago. Got the best mileage I have ever gotten 21mpg on mostly highway use running ~90mph.

I went 330mile on one tank. I have never gone over 300 on a tank in this car before.

Was very pleasantly surprised.

On the way to Cfest texas to kentucky.. SS with Blower 25.3 m6, Zl1 with M6 26.5 and Zl1 A10 28.3 This was on a straight stretch all of reset and went about 10 miles with cruise set at 80 (both Zl1's had the 1le wings might make some difference)... The SS was driven to Fla to All girls garage for a Eforce install I notice we lost about a 1 mpg on the high coming back. It was 26.x to florida and 25.x back.

My M6 at 80 was about 2200 rpms where the A10 was 1800 if that..

Average 16 MPG in the suburbs. Not bad considering my GEN 5 Camaro got the same and that was only 425HP.

Watching the "realtime" mpg meter, I get 3 mpg when I take off from a light and go Zero to 60 in OMG time. When on the highway it says 25-26 mpg. I like both numbers.

I averaged 18.3 on mine by the cars average value on the DIC. But when dividing miles on odometer divided by gallons required to fill. I got 16.6. That was on my last fill up this morning.
