I was wondering what sort of mileage most C3's get? I know alot of the newer Vettes have some high 20's curious to see if anyone has been able to track with a C3?

I have only checked mine on longer trips. I drove mine from Kingston Tn to Bowling Green Ky. We drove around for 3 days and then back home. I managed just a hair better than 20 MPG for the trip.

I do have a 5 speed transmission

I get about 9 mpg on my LT-1, but I think even new they only got 10.

If I drive it like a Honda, 10, maybe 12 mpg. If I drive it like a Vette, 2-3 gallons per mile !!!

I have never checked it. If ya can't afford the gas ya shoudn't have a go fast car. Get Hybrid. Just kidding. I drive mine for fun and drive the family car for trips and daily stuff. Now the 31" motor home gets about 8-9 and it sit allot.

I've been getting right around 22 mpg, I am happy with it, I am not even coming close to getting bored with my vette either!
