Your Mileage May Vary - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

I saw 8CAM's 44444 pic and I focused on the
Average 16.2 MPG. Mine is also in that range
with both city and highway driving. What do you
get?

I'm almost all city and average 13-14.5. On the last highway trip I was around 17...

If I just run the interstate 24-26

16-18 around town is about right.

Yep! Same here. 432 rwhp (that's 508 ish at the FW) and best mileage of any vehicle in the bunch!

NOTE: I never really went by the mpg read-out. Mine was done the old fashioned way: gallons/mileage calculation by hand.

Same here. My avg reads 19.2 right now. But I've probably only driven 60 miles around here since a 400 mile trip to Paducah last fall for a show. But I would say that 19 is pretty average for it. 25-26 hwy at 75-80 mph..

17 on the highway? my last trip home from carlise was almost 30mpg

When driving long distance I know my Z has a longer range than my bladder. If I keep my foot under control it'll do 25 mpg or a little better.

15-16 mpg around town with 4.10s. 21-22mpg on the hwy at 75-85 mph. 444 CHP.

BlackSheepz · 07-01-2016

Normally when it's all said and done from tank to tank I hover between 17-19.

I literally just got done driving from Marc Haibeck's shop to Indianapolis and got 27.4 though. (Old school math, not trip computer math).

Vetman · 07-02-2016

As I remember several years ago I set cruise at 103 in sixth on level road and and the instant mpg said 20.5.

I have also done the math on paper and pencil and found the average mpg on the computer within a half mpg of being correct.
