    My 2009 C6 with the NPP exhaust achieves 31 MPG Highway and 14 MPG City. For a 6.2L V8, this car is pretty magical when it comes to Miles Per Gallon [IMO]. The car is barely broken in, and it has 604 miles on it now. Sorry for the bad quality, the road was choppy as I was taking a picture. :(

    And just think....your city mileage will probably increase a bit once things get broken in.

    I have a '05 C6 with the engine re-mapped and being an old engineer, I keep records on every tankful. On a level interstate at 80 mph I get between 30 and 32 mpg. Between 70 and 75, around 28 to 29. I can go from Reno to Orange County which is a little over 500 miles on a tank of gas. Not bad for a performance car.
