ON the open road cruising - as I did on the last 2400 mile round trip I did 3 weeks ago - 27mpg.. - in a mellow mood you can get 29mpg.
That's about 8.5l/100km.
Yeah - yeah - yeah - so Accords can squeeze out 35mpg on a good day.... 
Urban cycle can be from 12mpg to 19mpg - all depends how you drive.
The C6 Z06 should be in the same range - it has missed gas-guzzler tax yet again  |
god damn.. 27mpg.. and you have 385hp on tap..
i get about 22mpg in my RAV4 goin from Boston to New York.. if i was real leanient on the throttle i could probably get 25-26.. but thats with a inline-4! |
Yep - and now that I have 420hp on tap the fuel mileage is still the same...

Anyway, as I already said, I am sure the C6 Z06 will be a great car and I would be disappointed if the mags reviews are not good !! |
Nah - we'd rather recruit 100 Viper drivers than have him cross to our side...
We're all prepared for the magazines to praise the speed, power and handling of the new Z06 - but then in the follow on paragraph they will say that even though it's equal or better to any sports car in the world, that it is not refined enough or luxurious enough or not enough hp/l or not built well enough or not reliable enough etc etc etc.
And that's ok - because many thousands of people will buy them even though they know these facts
Seems to me, that makes it as true of a drivers car as Lambo and Ferrari - as many people bought those through the years even though for many years, Ferrari's and Lambos had reputations for low reliability and high maintenance. (funny how that is a "character" of an Italian car - but a flaw in an Amercian car )
Anyway - I better go off to gather a couple answers for Speedkillars next reply...  |
It's all about that tall 6th gear.
I still get over 25 mpg with my 485 RWHP.
