A little ad humor,
Some of the ads lately in the newspapers have been showing Suburbans getting 25 mpg and a Corvette getting 30 mpg. The fine print at the bottom claims,"based on EPA mileage formula", drive 5 miles, push the rest?

Nah, just be sure you always drive with a 40 knot tailwind.

My 2001 Pontiac Firebird Formula, with the LS1 v-8, got 22 miles to the gallon. I drove that car HARD, too. I don't think an LS2 Corvette getting 30 mpg is out of the question.
