How is the gas mileage on corvettes?

Question

I am trying to solve a dispute between myself and my brother. Are there any corvettes that have what can be considered "good" gas mileage? Also, what would you consider to be good mileage?

Answer 1

No one buys a [C]orvette with an eye on gas mileage. You two are weird.

Answer 2

1998 Corvette Mpg

Answer 3

What the heck man! you buy a Corvette as a sports car, which means you want to BURN MORE gas and air to produce more power. The Corvette is not engineered to get 51 mpgs... lmfao

Answer 4

The 2011 Corvette gets 15mpg city, 24mpg highway, which is terrible.



Compare that to the 2011 Honda Civic, which gets 24mpg city and 36mpg highway.



Sports cars are fast because they have bigger engines that burn more fuel in order to turn the wheels faster. Sports cars are always bad on gas.



Edit:

The Corvette isn't the worst, though.

The 2011 Lambo Gallardo gets 12mpg city, 20mpg highway. Faster car, burns more gas.
