Yeah but I bet you drove your Corvette to get one. Any reason to take her out , right ?

Actually I did . Now that I have over 2,000 miles I'm trying to find the balance between economy and excitement. On my current tank, I've got an average of 23.6mpg. The 'B' reading is still set from delivery and it's reading 21.3mpg. I've been in the mountains several times, hit speeds over 100, driven in both the full auto and full manual tranny mode and all the driving modes except weather. I'm finding that decent economy is actually available for a performance car .
