I don’t know about the Demon, but here are the numbers for the 650 Hp Corvette Z06 from two years ago:

The top-of-the-line 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 performance coupe with an eight-speed automatic transmission delivers 13 mpg in city driving and 23 mpg on the highway, according to newly released fuel economy numbers by the EPA.

Consumers have been waiting for these numbers, since this is the first Corvette Z06 to offer a supercharged engine. GM says the 2015 Corvette Z06 is the most powerful production car ever from General Motors and one of the most powerful production cars available in the U.S.

The Corvette Z06 is equipped with a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine that churns out 650 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque.

When I was driving my 2014 Stingray back from Vegas I tried out the ECO (4 Cylinder) Mode for about 50 Miles.

I got about 38 mpg but it was a pain in the Butt watching the Fuel Economy Gauge and stopping myself from putting the Pedal to the Metal.

Without using ECO Mode, the Car would get 26-28 MPG at 70-75 MPH in 6th or 7th Gear running around 2000 RPM.

Of course it gets old driving a Corvette like it’s a Prius.

That was the first and last time I ever used ECO Mode. Track Mode was much more fun.

That’s better than a Ford Expedition. An older one, anyway.
