First off let me say I am missing about 10 receipts, all in-town, which would pull the average down since the road trip receipts are included.

That out of the way, for the 39 receipts I have, the green Z28 has averaged just over 22mpg, thats right, twenty two. The high is 30.4 (all interstate), low 16.2 (hot rodding it with a/c blasting). For the most part I don't beat on it, but frequently accelerate quickly (shift point <= 4k).

As for the missing receipts, assuming the car averaged 20mpg for those 3000 miles (300 per fillup), which gets the odometer very close, it still has close to 21.6mpg. Not bad for a pushrod dinosaur. Only mods are a "lid" and Nitto drag radials. It has 96k miles.

I don't feel that bad, lately(with gas prices like they are), ive been monitoring my MPG. I usually get about 26mpg on a tank with mixed 50/50 hwy/street driving, thats with no burnouts/spirited driving. getting stupid with the throttle takes that down to around 20-22mpg on a tank of gas, still 50/50 hwy/street. I usually let it get down to nearly empty before i refill to try and get as accurate as possible. my daily routes lets me use my cruise down the blvds and coast hills both ways.
