Default MPG question from the "cheap-seats"

I'm seeing all sorts of OMG posts of handling and power.
I'm seeing all sorts of "what kind of wheels" posts.

Has anyone done a distance test to almost the point of flame-out?
How far can these things actually go?
I'm thinking of trip-distance.

Same or little more than Stingray.

The hybrid is for performance, not for MPG - unless you mean just plain old how long can it run on battery?

This is a hybrid not a full electric vehicle. This will go till it runs out of gas or catches on fire!

It's a performance hybrid NOT designed for more mpg.
If you are not going to use the "extra battery power" the mpg will be about the same as a standard Stingray! That is what GM, the EPA info and my ~650 miles show! Now if you bought it for more power and as I do use it, it gets ~25% better mpg about the same hp from just an ICE engine. Compare the C8 Z06,
C8 Z06 EPA MPG City = 12 mpg; Highway = 21 mpg: AVERAGE = 15 mpg
E-Ray EPA MPG City = 16 mpg; Highway = 24 mpg: AVERAGE = 19 mpg
C8 Z51 EPA MPG City = 16 mpg; Highway = 24 mpg: AVERAGE = 19 mpg

Now if you use the power you get the best 0 to 60 mph!
