The average for the past year or so in the CTS-V is 36 mph. I drove from PA to CA once and the average speed for the entire trip was 78.xx mph

I timed my commute to work, and I know the distance thanks to google maps, and got an average speed of 56.7 MPH. My commute it pretty repeatable and based on past experience of how long it takes it yields an average speed between 54 – 59 MPH. This trip is responsible for about 85% of the mileage my car travels. The other trip I make often accounts for the other 10% has an average speed of 46 MPH. The other 5% varies widely.

Last I logged, it was under 30mph thanks to Cali traffic (also my slow driving).

My 70 km-commute trip consists 55 km freeway and 15 km highway so my average speed is close to my cruise speed. I have 7 roundabouts and 2 red lights on the highway. Average speed is 47 mph for 51 mph cruise speed. These trips return 80-85 mpg. Near ideal roads for good mpg. My commutes represent 85% of my travels, the remaining 15% are usually done at 38-40 mph average for similar mpg.

my average speed is in the mid 40s for my commute and my mpg is getting close to matching it all the time.

I just invalidated my numbers this morning. I'm down at the bottom of my tank (fill up tonight) and was checking out screen 2 to see fuel remaining and DTE. Screen 2 also has average speed for short and long trip.
While slowly losing speed in EOC, my short trip average speed was slowly increasing. Ya gotta love key off eoc. Sadly, a kill switch can't move any higher on my to do list because there are just too many things ahead of it.

My kill switch messes-up the UltraGauge average speed calculations. When I click off the injectors my average speed starts climbing. So average speeds on my tanks are always like 60+ mph, even though I drive around in 25 mph to 45 mph speed zones most of the time. Has always been a bummer about my UG. I would imagine key-off would do the same thing.

My trip to work averages somewhere between 35 and 39mph depending on how traffic is. Usually the closer to 40mph, the better the trip mpg is; meaning I timed lights better and spent less time at very low mph.
