Good point, what's a few extra dollars matter when houses shake when you drive by? My friend told me he heard me coming 3 blocks away from inside his house.

Obviously from reading the posts, it just depends on how you drive her. Me, I just can't keep my foot off that pedal on the right, you know the one I'm talkin' about.... I just love to feel the torque, and hear the Corsas open up. My average sits on 14.2... :o
For those of you who have been to Spring Mountain, remember what they tell you. If you don't drive your vette like the high performance machine it is, then it will never achive it's full potential. The car is not meant to be babied once you pass the 500 mile mark...

Say, We just returned from a great extended weekend that started/ended in Grand Haven MI. and ran to Chautauqua New York. It was a terrific time of tasting some very fine wines and terrific dinners in this regions finest vineyards. Considering that the mildly aggressive driving was done in 8 Vettes with one fully testosterone filled male in each, I was quite surprised to pull in the drive at the trips end, touch dic for average mpg and see 27.8.
