miles per gallon

I'm curious -- I use my car as my daily car. I'm averaging about 13 mile per gallon with not that much stop and go traffic in Florida. What are the rest of you getting for normal driving?

15 mpg, heavy footed but I don't drive short distances which can severly hamper gas mileage.

18-19 with a 13 mile each way trip to work. About 4-5 of that is city driving. I did one small highway trip where the cruise set at 70 got a little over 21 but showed numbers above 25 for a lot of straight stretches.

JupiterZ06,

I picked up my EB Z06 on Friday at the Museum, and am on the trip home. Overall, back roads, I am averaging 24.4. Haven't had a chance to do any sustained city driving. I just cracked 700 miles today, and had the first 30 miles of Interstate driving. I'm in Vicksburg tonight, heading for Natchez and Alexandria, LA tomorrow.

Joe Syslo

Yeah, I'm a happy camper!!!
