    • Total Cost: $245.25
    • Total Fuel Per Fill Up: 13.035 gallons
    • Total Fuel: 65.173 gallons
    • Gas Mileage: 20.26 MPG
  • April 26 - First fill up, so was unable to log mileage.
    • Location: Arco in Tucson Arizona, Valencia & I-10
    • Driving Habits: Not sure, DIC showed 24 MPG so I would assume not too aggressive
    • Miles Driven: Not sure, Trip was not reset
    • Total Cost: $49.55 @ $3.57/gallon
    • Total Fuel: 13.88 gallons
    • Gas Mileage: Not sure, Trip was not reset
    • Notes: 90 Octane
  • May 5
    • Location: Fry's Grocery Store in Tucson Arizona, Houghton & Rita Road
    • Driving Habits: Relatively normal with some getting after it testing things out, almost all in town driving
    • Miles Driven: 221.31
    • Total Cost: $35.40 @ $3.54/gallon
    • Total Fuel: 10.234 gallons
    • Gas Mileage: 21.63 MPG
    • Notes: 91 Octane, was a little skeptical about the idea of the gas quality
  • May 17
    • Location: Chevron on 22nd & Kolb
    • Driving Habits: Very little aggressive driving, due to bad gas mostly. Also included a trip up Mount Lemmon
    • Miles Driven: 268.30
    • Total Cost: $51.28 @ $3.74/gallon
    • Total Fuel: 13.71 gallons
    • Gas Mileage: 19.57 MPG
    • Notes: 91 Octane, was still 1/4 of a tank of the bad Fry's gas left over. On that note, the gas from Fry's was bad causing the motor to ping under hard acceleration and seems to have contributed to poor overall gas mileage as well. Note to self, never fill up the Vette there again.
  • July 17
    • Location: Shell on Rita Road & Old Vail Highway
    • Driving Habits: Typical Corvette driving fast, slow, fast, slow…
    • Miles Driven: 306.10
    • Total Cost: $61.64 @ $4.04/gallon
    • Total Fuel: 15.26 gallons
    • Gas Mileage: 20.06 MPG
    • Notes: 91 Octane. Ran tank pretty low, not really sure why. Still haven't tested what kind of mileage the car will get if it is driven strictly for mileage… its too tempting to drive it like a Vette.
  • August 9
    • Location: Chevron on Broadway and Houghton
    • Driving Habits: Typical Corvette driving fast, slow, fast, slow…
    • Miles Driven: 239.10

    • Total Fuel: 12.089 gallons
    • Gas Mileage: 19.78 MPG
    • Notes: 91 Octane. Well, I cant seem to keep my foot out of it at least once a trip. Filled up for the August 9, 2008 Mount Lemmon Cruise trip. Also set the pressure on the rear tires to 31psi and the front to 32psi.

Hey, my Hemi gets about the same gas mileage as your Vet–and I can pull your Vet and then some–not to mention I can drive over the top of you :-). I get 18-21 MPG!!!!

Cool car. I really like it.

The day your Hemi truck gets the same gas mileage as my Vette (with the same driving conditions) or pulls it (as sits) is the day I sell it. Hehe, hi mom!!!
