Both the corvette and the Prius are considered to be cars of choice, not of necessity.<BR/><BR/>I did not know that corvettes have such good gas mileage. According to Edmunds: <BR/><BR/>Manual: 18 mpg / 28 mpg <BR/>Automatic: 18 mpg / 26 mpg<BR/><BR/>So I'd be surprised if they really do get 28+, given that EPA estimates tend to be high.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18153935609499338685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19154622.post-1141420176048730512006-03-03T16:09:00.000-05:002006-03-03T16:09:00.000-05:00Mike:The interesting thing about this study with P...Mike:<BR/><BR/>The interesting thing about this study with Prius being #1 and Corvette #2 is that many poeple that buy a Corvette probably do it for the same reason that many by a Prius, and that is that it is a lifestyle choice that offers a glimpse into the personality of the car owner.<BR/><BR/>One of the myths of the Corvette is that because of its high output V8 (400 hp) it gets poor gas mileage. Ask most owners and they will tell you that they pull down 28+ mpg on the highway.<BR/><BR/>KeithAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
