At first glance, a Corvette may seem like an odd choice for a vehicle to enter into an event aimed at fuel economy. At second glance, and when one realizes that the Corvette in question is the Z06, which happens to be powered by a 7.0-liter V8 engine that offers up over 500-horsepower, the choice looks positively insane. Perhaps it isn't. Any car can be driven in an economical fashion, even one powered by an extremely large-displacement eight cylinder engine. It helps that the 'Vette has a six speed manual transmission and makes plenty of stump-pulling torque right off idle, so its driver can shift quickly at very low RPMs. When properly driven, the Z06 is actually capable of delivering rather good mileage. In fact, the Z06 won the annual Fleetworld/ALD Automotive MPG Marathon in the U.K. by averaging 30.96 mpg over the trip's two-day, 411-mile route. That mark represents an improvement of 61.26-percent over the Z06's official European combined mileage figures and is a new record for the MPG Marathon. Maybe the V8's got some legs left after all.

Hey Hey guys, 22 is pretty good for a Rx-8.
I usually max out at 21 something mpg, but hit 22 mph exact on this last tank.
I would say it was more like 95% highway though..

Huge hole is huge
I had 28 with one passenger and not too much baggage. Going 60 in 6th gear does wonders for your mileage. Nebraska roadways ftw.
Lots of Plattsmouth -> Valley trips.

I drove 55 MPH with the trucks in the slow lane for over two hours by myself and got 29.5 mpg. It was very hard to do and took a lot of patients and I probably wont do again. Thats an 04' A/T.

^if i had a gauge hooked to the intake manifold...it would constantly be in positive pressure(of course I'd have to be FI for that to happen first) but for most ppl staying out of the throttle in this car is VERY hard! haha

With 32k miles on my stock coils, I can still get 26-28 mpg using cruise control at 65 mph if I can stand the boredom and avoid the ethanol. Someone on here got 29 mpg once.
