I take it you drive with an egg between your foot and the gas pedal in town to get that kind of MPG in town....:rofl:


Just messing with you, how do you get that kind of MPG in the city??
no idea really, I drive it normal I guess, sometimes I get on it leaving stop lights and other times I don't. the speed limits 40mph in most places so when I get to 40 I put it in 6th gear and just drive. Kansas is pretty flat to so maybe that helps :leaving:

I had it tuned after long tube headers and a K&N cold air intake, 348hp at the tires now so its pretty stock.

It is impressive just how great the gas mileage is on the C5. But to me the real treat is being able to get behind the wheel of a world class sports car and get that mpg.
:iagree::D:D:D

2001 like mine is not as expensive since they come out the bottom. Dealership charges just under $1000 to do both last time. Had mine replaced twice so far under warranty.

Went to a local garage also a couple months ago and they quoted me $3,000 (not).

Not really in to draining my tanks of gasoline in my garage!

I like my 25-26mpg on the highway. I'm around 1800 rpm at 80mph.

Average is about 15 mpg. So I'd guess I get about 9-10 mpg in town....maybe less.

About to change to 4.10 gears. It'll be interesting to see how it affects fuel milage.
