When I manage to find time drive mine, I get 21mpg local and around 26mpg highway. It has a 93 LT1/ZF6 conversion, 1700 RPM at 70 MPH.

better yet, just get a C3, they are a blast to drive, they sound like MUSCLE cars, and they really are eye candy in an era of bland jelly-bean cars. I cannot believe how many people (especially younger people who never saw them in their heyday) just gawk & oogle over the car.
Get this, I was never really a Vette guy either until recently. Now, I'm hooked!
