Here ya go Road Trip Bob...

The Corvette is not a bad package..but how about something slightly smaller..more aero friendly..lighter...with better suspension...
with effectively the same engine..generally VERY well maintained (extreme performance car, modified to suit..and very reliable..)

94 Chaste White LS3 FD3S

A couple of examples there...but MANY more out there in the wild if you want something a bit different, that driven sensibly will return outstanding fuel economy..but..if you wish to stand out from the crowd, and have the ability to attend a race track and WIN..it may be worthwhile..

Never thought I would post one of my favourite toy cars on an eco forum hahahaha (I have owned 5 of the above...ranging from stock to 1300rwhp..but they had the rotary engine still in them..FAR from economical!)

I like the fact your looking for efficiency, but ALSO wanting some "drivability and style"...

Widen your scope further, and you could have a look at things like a RCR SL-C with a long geared engine in it, or potentially a more mundane but still beautiful Jaguar XJ with a diesel turbo..(heres a entertaining review https://www.topgear.com/videos/top-g...s-12-episode-4 ) - that Jag..driven HARD returned around 50+mpg ...
