You would think an 8.4 liter v10 would get terrible mileage, but in fact I read a review of the 2nd gen viper srt10 that stated they averaged about 24-26 mpg on the highway. Not bad considering the 500 hp and huge engine.
So a corvette getting 30 mpg doesn't really surprise me. They have so much torque that they can cruise at about 1200 rpm at 65 mph. Not to mention technologies like cylinder deactivation that the viper didn't have.
