So I own a 2002 Z28 that I love to death. I pamper it for the most part. No burnouts, very rarely get on it from a stop, etc. But this last tank of gas I decided to do a fair share of spitited driving due to the nice weather. Now for the power it puts out, I don't complain about my gas mileage (15city/28hwy 6 speed).
Anyway what surprised me is that my mileage averaged quite a bit better after the spirited driving. I always calculate my MPG after each fill-up, and I usually average 15.6MPG with almost all city driving. This past fill-up I averaged just over 18MPG. Is there any reasoning to this? Could some WOT runs free up some things and allow fuel economy to be greater? I am confused, lol
