Vette(s): Previous: 1984 Coupe, 1988 Maroon Coupe, 1989 Coupe, 2001 Roadster Present: 1967 Stingray Roadster, 1976 Stingray Coupe, 1989 Roadster..
MPG (known as My Gas Problem) is something I have never worried about in a vette. Heck fact is I have done things to make it worse over the years in the blacray.

So I guess it would be unfair to complain. As long as it gets me from point a to point be and rumbles like a nice bow tie then I am gonna keep on smilin..... even at the pump.....

One the way back from Pigon Forge last year it was 17.5 with my foot in it on the highway on the way home.  Average about 80 mph.

 Funny, I got the 1st vette about 5 yrs. ago and I've never done the math, but whatever it is, it's worth it Big%20smile.

Vette(s): 1969 Custom Modified, Hooker Header Side Pipes, 12 to 1 compression ratio, 355 CID,4 speed close ratio with hurst shifter, 370 rear, Recaro interior, Tilt hood, Hugger Orange and Black.

Only checked the mileage on the 69 once during a 300 mile cruise to a brewery and back, let's put it this way - the old car drank a lot more than I did in terms of pure cost but even at 11 mile to gallon on the road it is a blast to drive - Have no clue what it gets around town - it couldn't be much worse though.

My Girl can get 17 if I keep my foot out of her. Needless to say I don't get 17 very often. Fuel economy is not what not what I got her for.

Vette(s): My 1974 Vette sold last August 2014. I am still willing to show up to events and local gatherings if anything happening No new vette yet.
Gas mileage? LOL. i just upgraded my cam so when i get it back on the road i will figure it out. the cam is supposed to help the gas mileage but i don't know how much. all i know is its baaaaad. To go from my house to work and back is like 50 miles total (premium gas only) and i literally can watch my gas gauge drop a full quarter tank. Mind you, the way i go there is traffic and alot of stop and go with traffic lights both directions.
