“Ferrari’s get about 8mpg and only hold 2 people.”

Think again, numbnutz.

Ferrari almost always has a four seater available and 8 MPG might be right for burning up your tires on a test track session, other than that they have better fuel economy than the Corvette.

LOL. I’ve noticed that Corvettes and expensive sports cars are the slowest cars on the road because only old men with dreams of their youth can afford them. But once they get in the drivers seat, their bad vision and low T betrays the spirit of that young man.

My 2018 Wrangler JLUS gets the same real-world mpg as the EPA test claim for the Corvette. That commute is up and down hills all-the-way for 22 mpg.

An eight speed automatic and a 272 Hp turbocharged I-4 work well together to propel a box on wheels. Cruising level road at 65 mph, with the allowed 87 octane, nets 24 mpg for extended trips.

Zero to 60 is under seven seconds with traction control defeated and 4wd H engaged per testing. This is for the mild hybrid system which adds 70 lb ft torque below 1500 engine rpm.

Running the optimum 91 octane at a higher speed, higher wind loading, or with peak summer temperatures gains even more miles. Some even have claimed 27 mpg, which I have not experienced.
