The C6 gives amazing mileage - 28 mpg at 75 mph, 30-31 at 70, and I average 20 to 21 commuting. It will remain my daily driver.
I have owned:
Car In-town Highway General use
---------------------------------------------------------------
1958 Buick Roadmaster 8 14 10
1965 Buick Wildcat 11 16 ?
1967 VW Bug 28 36 28
1980 Audi 4000 21 33 22
1985 Mustang GT 5.0 17 28 19
2001 Lexus LS 430 Ultra) 21 26 21
2005 Corvette 6-spd 20 30 21
The VW (I still have it) gives 36 mpg at 60 mph, the Corvette 35. The VW gives 28-30 mpg at 70, the Corvette 30-31. So here we have a 400-hp
186-mph near-exotic that burns little more fuel than does a classic
1.5-liter 53-hp VW that's about half its weight. Both are
*great* drives.
Progress moves on, folks.
