Don't believe Corvette owners lies about supposed fuel economy

They'll lie and tell people that Corvettes get 28 MPG, when the truth
is that the C6 ZO6 gets 24 MPG, the C6 Auto Coupe gets 25 mpg, and the
C6 Manual gets 26 MPG.
It costs well over $5 just to drive 25 in gas alone on top of the wear
and tear due to HORRIBLE GM reliability and expense of spare parts. On
top of that you have to use premium gas in a Corvette. 26 MPG with
premium gas is like 20 MPG with regular gas.
Even GM's crappy 5,500 lbs Tahoe Hybrid costs $4 to drive $25 miles
which is way better than the Corvette. Driving a Corvette is like
throwing your money away at the OPEC Casino. I have more respect even
for a Hybrid SUV owner than a Saudi Royal Family funding, Air
Polluting Corvette Driver.
If more people drove sensable cars instead of gas guzzlers then we
wouldn't be in this war right now. Corvettes and SUVs cause wars.
Instead of driving Corvettes and SUVs, people should drive Hybrids and
station wagons and spend those trillions saved from no wars to educate
children, house the homeless, feed the poor, etc.

Probably the neocons and oil companies would still want to take over
Iraq's oil. They want a law there to privatize the oil so that the
companies that used to be there controlling it will have it once again.
The oil workers will strike if the law passes.

Wow! Is there anything else you don't know very much about that you'd
like to share with us?

Husband and I averaged 29mpg last summer on a trip from Maryland to Rhode
Island.

When the Corvette has so many other things to brag about, why would anyone
lie about the gas mileage?

Totally agree. I'm not a fan of most domestic cars, but the Corvette
is definitely an exception. For a 500 hp, 7.0 liter vehicle to be able
to get 24 to 29 MPG, that is impressive. That technology should be
sprinkled throughout the product range. The new Malibu seems to be a a
sign that (FINALLY!) GM is waking up and really thinking about the
whole prodcut line, not just the king Corvette.

Surprising! Things must have changed since the day I owned Vettes. My 71
454 4 speed with a 3.08 rear could never get better than 16 running around
80. In town, it was near 10.

Checked mine today and on a 30 trip, went to pickup a gun I ordered;
talked to the owners widow for about 3 hours; watched a few turkeys
get checked in, nice birds, and then back home. No one shot when it
was warmed up and at its peak, about 8 miles without a stop sign.
Warmed it up twice so to speak and got a very poor 29.2, have seen 34
on a nice day of driving non stop with a group coming back from the
Corvette factory.

Jack, Al, Lawrence, and/or Sal don't know if his asshole was punched,
bored, or rusted through let alone anything about automobiles.

Not everything relevant appears on Fox.

Don't believe the lies. The Audi R8 TDI has a road bending 738ft/lbs
of torque and a 12 cylinder engine and yet gets fuel economy better
than the C6 ZO6 on the highway, and far better in the city. It sound
and looks a hell of a lot better than any redneck gm car any day of
the week too. This is what a good looking car is supposed to look like
not like a Corvette.
