In the real world Corvettes and S2000s get very similar fuel mileage. The difference is negligible. It's been long known that 'vettes get great gas mileage.

The key is in keeping proper tire inflation.

That's my key anyways. Sounds stupid but makes a large difference.

that, and youd be surprised what 10-15 mph does to gas milage. 60 vs. 70-75.

well i have not been on any trip in the car that i put an entire tank of gas all highway.

If you are following the stock heads up display for avg gas mileage its not very accurate. Usually reads 2mpg higher then actual mileage with me.


What i do is fill up the tank reset trip, then when i fill back up divid the miles by the amount it took to fill back up. Thats a more accurate # IMO.
