My 05 GT with 4.10's, about 500lbs more weight gets 22-23 MPG on the highway and nearly 18-19 on the street.

Pretty sure it has to do with the efficiency of the motor, all of the cooling mods, the difference in weight between the ZL1, etc.
yeah 505hp 24mpg if you don't think that is good you are not very smart. that is hand calculated rolling 80mph up the freeway too. It could proabably do better if I drove slower.

show me another 500hp car that does better. the gas milage to power this old clunky pushrod engine is pretty amazing.
