Re: GM unveils small-block, LT1 6.2-liter V-8
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Juechter said the base 2014 Corvette will generate 450 horsepower or greater. The all-new Corvette also is expected to generate 450 foot-pounds of torque and achieve more than 26 miles per gallon fuel economy.</div></div>
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. Jake
