Don't believe Corvette owners lies about supposed fuel economy

It's an '86 in very good condition so I do not beat on it. It is a Corvette
though and needs a little "push" once in a while as a reminder My wife
doesn't drive it--she complains about the cabin size,rough ride etc... Fine
with me! At least she hasn't asked for the garage back Sarah thanks
for the link--i'm going to look at it now

During the 3 years I've had the C6 it has gone 9000 miles while the Olds has
only gone 2000 miles. My wife doesn't drive anymore, so it looks pretty
obvious which one I LOVE to drive!
