I average about 15mpg, with mostly "spirited" city driving. On a highway trip I averaged around 20mpg.

I drove my GT 300 miles on I-77/I-70 back from Ohio last week. Got 24.7, which kind of suprised me because although I mostly drove 70-75 MPH I did manage to hit a straight area with very light traffic and got it up to 120 for a mile or two. It seems to shift from fourth to fifth at 120.

I drove back from Ohio last week, 300 miles on I-77/I-70. I have about 17000 miles on the car. Mileage checked in at 24.7 MPG. That is just a tad more than I usually get on the road. It kind of suprised me because although I mostly drove 70-75 MPH I did hit a straight area with very light traffic and got it up to 120 before I had to get off it. It seems to shift from 4th to 5th at about 120.

My 06 really isnt broken in yet, but so far, I'm getting about 21 mpg. Thats good in my book, but I hope it improves over the next few months.

I only get decent mileage on the interstate. around 270 miles a tank- I can go to Atlanta and back on a tank.

On the highway- its crappy I drive like 160 miles a week back and forth to work, and it takes a tank to do it- but then again I like to gun it at green lights and generally act like a fool.

130 round trip on the highway I get from 25 to 27 @ 80mph. Better if I drop down to 70-75mph. City stop and go I don't even bother, it's not good.

I reset my MPG trip settings before a trip up the interstate in my 06 GT auto trans vert.
Going 70-80 I got 25.5 MPG on the trip up.
I lowered the top for the trip home at the same speeds the MPG dropped to 24.5 MPG.
Around town I love working the loud pedal too much and can't get over 18 MPG.

I have averaged around 20mpg since taking delivery of the car. I drive 50/50 highway/city at off peak times. I have seen as high as 25mpg on the highway and can easily get over 300 miles in that situation. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img]

Drove from Denver to Albuquerque and back which is 630 miles each way, averaging 85 mph (with 4.10 gears mind you) and still averaged 24mpg; Not to shabby in my opinion.

drove to las vegas last weekend. there was about an hour of bumper-to-bumper traffic each way, and the whole trip was about 5hrs each way. when it wasn crawling along i was flooring it or cruisin at ~100mph.

i got 20.8mpg there, and 20.75mpg back...very consistent results, especially considering my aggressive tune, 4.30 gears, and not-so-gentle driving style. i was very impressed with my 305.0 miles on my tank the way back!!!

i usually get ~14mpg if all in the city
