“2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 performance coupe with an eight-speed automatic transmission delivers 13 mpg in city driving”

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

I just made a round trip to Carmel, CA and back (about 250 miles) in a 2013 Avalanche. Computer said 18.9 mpg. But these cars are about as aerodynamic as a brick. The Corvettes have very low drag coefficients. You can see that when you are coasting to a stop. There just isn’t much drag.

I just bought a 2014 Expedition with 26k on the clock. It’s the last V8 model they make. Still getting about 13.5 mpg, same as my 2004 V8 Expedition got.
