Corvette Z06 wins MPG Marathon in the UK - AutoblogGreen

The winner was determined by highest percentage above the European combined rating, with the Corvette scoring 61.26% above.

Another part of the MPG Marathon included 2 Aveos; one driven "normally" and the other driven for best economy. Obvious results.

Since it's % over EPA and not raw MPG numbers, I think it would make more sense to say "driver of corvette z06 wins mpg marathon," since, really, he could've ecodriven a milk truck to 6mpg and made 60% over epa,

I've often thought the Corvette offers a great platform for a high-MPG car. It is light and aerodynamic and it has a great six-speed manual.

With a diesel we're talking 50+MPG.

I drive past a sad-looking C5 every day. If it has the 6 speed, I consider it with a 3.2 liter Benz dieselcirca 2004) engine as a great practical MPG machine.

I would opt for a old Opel GT and stick a 1.0 Geo motor in it.

yeah a vette at like 60mph what is it 1200 rpm or less.

edit i beat the vette

I've always wanted a vette, but gave up that idea when I decided that I liked being able to fit all my vehicles in the garage and the same time. This makes me want an old vette to convert to electric!

Are they talking imperial or U.S. gallons?

This proves the ecomodder adage that the most important thing is the nut behind the wheel.

There is a c4 vette with a 6.5 diesel getting 30 on the highway, but it's a C4 and a 6.5, so the numbers aren't really impressive. A c5 with a duramax or cummins would be awe inspiring.
