While I didn't have 450hp/450ft lbs, I was getting 26+ mpg in my 89 Corvette on a trip between South Bend and Milwaukee and back, using all eight cylinders. Never went faster than 135 on that trip either.

----I have heard of several 89 era and a bit newer Corvettes that have hit 32 MPG on the road. During one of the earlier gas price scares more than one guy went out and bought a Corvette to weather the storm in style......Bill S

Dad frequently sees high 20's for MPG in his 96 LT4.
