Is my car a unicorn?

Active fuel management + stiff tail wind= better gas mileage. E85, all the wheel horse power and consequently more frequent fill ups is what most of us are concerned with here.

Not saying I bought a ctsv for mpg lol just stating I was surprised as all

I realize you're new to the whole CTS-V thing, but if you're getting good MPG from the car, you're not driving it right. Just sayin'....

Measure mpg using real world info and not trusting what your car tells you. Number of miles driven divided by gallons of fuel as shown at the pump.

I try to do that every now and then (and making sure I use the same gas pump both times), but it’s hard not getting into boost for ~150 miles or so to make it accurate.

I just don't want to know...

I measured real-world and was pretty darn close to what car says. Will be out the window when i do my mods anyways lol

It's a hybrid

Best average I’ve ever gotten according to the car is 29 MPG over 50 miles.

I wish, it would’ve been more enjoyable. Pretty sure I got that number Road tripping the car to Indiana for a half-mile race. You get into those long, flat, narrow roads through corn fields and people do exactly 55 MPH. Forever.

On my 1k mile road trip to SoCal I averaged 20.5 mpg on blend of e85 and 91 so that’s not too rare. I stretched it’s legs a few times but mostly cruised around 80mph

Air temperature makes a measurable difference, esp. when you get up in speed where turbulence & friction losses go up by the square of your speed.

You are in the ballpark tbh. I get into the 20s crusing on a highway if I'm not speeding.

I get 14mpg.

Not bad for your power level (double mine). That’s what I get.

With a little more passive aggressiveness and a more lame "race car," you could be Unavowed' twin!
