Re: Don't believe Corvette owners lies about supposed fuel economy

Well what is the mileage you folks get around town.  I do not need to do a 
lot of freeway driving.  Just stop and go up to about 45 mph.

Also bragging the the vette gets XX mpg seems like a 'so what'.  Typical 
vette owners would not really be concerned with mileage.  Seems they are 
going for the looks and performance.
