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. |

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. -- --- Ed Light Better World News TV Channel: http://realnews.com Bring the Troops Home: http://bringthemhomenow.org http://antiwar.com Send spam to the FTC at Thanks, robots. |

I did that in a little over one year in the Army... 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. CD |

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. > > When the Corvette has so many other things to brag about, why would anyone > lie about the gas mileage? > > -------- > > On 21 Apr 2008 17:09:52 -0700, Jose Gaspar > in > Message-ID: > wrote: > > :> you never got above an E-5...

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. |

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. http://youtube.com/watch?v=Aaylp_9kJyo http://youtube.com/watch?v=13-DTwoh2RQ |
