Stock, I got 21 and 29 on the highway in the '02 ZO6. Not I get 20/28 - not bad for a ll the extra power. Gas here runs about $3.05/gallon for premium.

I don't stay on the highway longer than 10 minutes, so I'm not sure what I'd get, but I do average 19.5 MPG, and that's with almost daily 100 MPH hill climbs (especially entertaining when Porsche 911s are climbing the same hills, heh heh).

Well I dont rely on the DIC for my fuel milage, it is consistanly 3 mpg optimistic.

I normally get about 22 mpg (miles / gallons) with about 98% interstate driving.

I *might* be albe to get 24 mpg if I was going down hill drafting a 18 wheeler.
