OMG 20 is actually awsome, most only get 14mpg or 15, and I only get about 11mpg.
33mpg in a vette? no way, I think if most us had one we would only get about 4mpg

Just filled up this morning...13 mpg.

And it's easily possible to get 33 mpg in a Vette. My LS1 99 Z28 got over 30 easy on trips, and usually 20-22 when I was beating on it at the track every weekend, and it was an auto too.

15-18 mpg

I have 31's and 3.42 gearing so it helps on flat and downwhill but uphill, im downshifting and flooring the throttle to keep up with highway speeds

I've been getting 19-20 around town and 24-26 on long trips on the highway. No complaints here yet with about 10,500 miles on a 2003

Dang, that's great!!! I get 20-21 highway, and 15-16 city. 3.73's with stock 235/75's. Mine definitely has a sweet spot of about 60-65 running highway. When running 70-80 it drops back below 20 mpg.

When I got the 26mpg I was on a 4.5 hr drive south to Tulsa with the wife and kids and all the crap they bring with them when we travel

I dont know if this made a difference but I bought the biggest roof top carrier that will fit in the truck bed and put all the luggage and stuff ( wife and two teenage girls)

that we carry in it, and it comes just over the top of the bed side and the rear of the carrier is shaped like a spoiler. Dont know how much that helped but it seems like I get better mpg with it in than without it.

After I hit 5500 miles and installed the tonneau cover, I've been getting 18-20 MPG's. I have 3.42's and usually do 70-75 for 30% of my trips to and from work. The other 70% is stop-light/stop-sign driving.

Over 16 is awesome, my truck currently is getting 11.2mpg in the city, and when I do the highway trips it hits 21/22mpg with no wind.
