Are These Numbers Normal
 

I just took my first long trip and was wondering if these numbers are normal.
I have 2014 with Z51 package.

Outside Temp: 80
MPH: 60
RPM: 1500
Oil Pressure: 38
Eng Temp: 206
Oil Temp: 200
Battery: 12.8

MPH: 73
RPM: 1900
Oil Pressure: 39

Idle at Stop Light:
Oil Pressure: 31

Numbers are about right.
1500 RPM@60mph is high, are you in the top gear?

I'm at 1200 rpm@65 mph / 7MT non Z51 70 mph is about 1300 RPM

Yes, the 1500 was kinda of a guess (didn't quite remember, knew it was around 1500) and I have an automatic.

Works for me.

Off topic -- I didn't even know the vette had a fuel economy screen. I'll have to look for that one.:lol:

Yeah,like you're going to use it.:lol:

Yeah, I knew coming in it wasn't going to get great MPG, so I'm not going to worry about it. I am impressed with the HWY economy the Stringray gets, but we bought them for the of fun per gallon though!

Mine stays in sport mode all the time but once on the Interstate I did try eco just see if and how it works.

Does it actually get better mpg in eco mode. Even in sport mode it seems to switch to 4 banger mode every chance it gets.

I only drove about 25 miles in Eco so I didn't try to check milege, just can't get away from that Sport mode sound. I've read in other posts about the gas milege guys are getting in Eco and there is quite a difference. Your car jumps to four cylinders while it's in Sport mode?

Seems to. Only when cruising on the highway though.

Do the majority of new buyers all order the Z51 package ?

I just took a look at your journal, Beautiful car. The next time you come to NC I'll take it for a test drive to see what that quirky changing is all about. It's probably nothing but maybe you should have the dealership check it out.
