New 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray Pictures -

17 mpg city and 29 mpg highway, the new Vette spars with the Porsche 911 Carrera for fuel-efficiency superiority among sports cars — figures that seem astonishing given the Vette's 455-hp V-8.Compared to the manual-stirred 911 Carrera, the new Corvette has two mpg fewer around town and two more in highway driving, for a combined rating of 21 miles per gallon of premium fuel to the 911's 22 mpg. Of course the 911 starts out roughly $30,000 more than the new Vette and escalates quickly into a $100,000 car; according to the FuelEconomy.Gov website, the annual difference in fuel costs between the two is about $100.
