hyper, my issue is that the OP wrote:

But now we have to qualify it with "good for a corvette", and even that isn't that good (because the engine has to fight itself and huge tires and downforce, basically it wasn't designed for MPG).
How you drive does make a huge difference, but only in terms of some percentage of what the vehicle is capable of getting in MPG, thus it is not "more important" per-se. If how you drive was really more important than what, then with the right driver, these two should be able to get about the same mpg, or within %50 anyway:
Of course if OPs point is to say "use what you got" then that is a
very worthy consideration. Please do take the time to wring the most mpg out of your vehicles. Takes energy to build vehicles too. But, this looks like a commercial for new corvettes, with false logic, so I don't think that is the point. Worried stockholder? I dunno, what makes people jump to conclusions like that?
