Gas mileage (my first post)

My white tc is due at the dealer by the end of the week. Even though I have a new ZO6, I'm really excited about this as my daily driver. I bought this for appearance/economy rather than performance. What kind of gas mileage are you guys getting in the real world as opposed to the EPA rating?

here in NYC, with the gas having 10% ethanol mixed - am getting near 20mpg
[city driving]
I get around 31mpg highway driving

All of this is with the 5speed.

The 4 speed auto gets slightly better gas mileage

Re: Gas mileage (my first post)

i get from 24.5 to 27.0 mpg average. lower if more city, higher if more highway. i have yet to see over 30mpg, though. mainly because i'm always either carrying people, luggage, tools or supplies. this is with the 5-speed and a heavier foot.
