Well it doesn't make sense to compare real world numbers for the C6 to EPA numbers for the C7. For all we know, the C7 could get like 32 mpg while cruising. That's why using just the EPA numbers is a more fair comparison.

And i wasn't making an EPA political statement either. Thanks for being the only one with the "common sense" to understand where i was coming from right off the bat.

Nobody said you were making a political statement

You said:

[UNKNOWN_370;2397351]You can cruise a C6 and get 28mpg. So they didn't have to work to hard to get 30mpg. [/QUOTE]

You're not comparing like-to-like, which is what everyone has an issue with.

We all know what he meant. It just doesn't make sense.

I don't know what is going on here, but the C7 Vette is pretty cool.

Right guys?
