Just got back from one...Took my all-time favorite route know as the Black's Woods Road, which I used to do 2-3 times a month on the bike.
Every bit as much fun in the 'Vette!

tacfoleyI don't get how you all seem to be so focused on gas mileage, with gas the price you pay, I'd have something utterly bonkers, like a twin-turbocharged high-tune V10, and whale the almighty bejabbers out of it at every opportunity I got.
Life is a one-way street, friends - there's no turning round for a re-run.
Meanwhile, here in UK, my buddy Brett's favourite ride uses three to four imperial gallons just to start up, and driving around on his property, maybe - on a good day - four to five gallons per mile.
Is it fun? You bet - it's called a Chieftain Main Battle Tank.

OzarkwoodsI when I bought my 2006 drove it from Sacramento to home in MO. I challenged myself to see how good of gas mileage I could get. With the exception of the flats west of Salt Lake I stayed at the speed limit. Until I reached the bumper to bumper rush hr Kansas City traffic I reach 32.3/mpg. Never got that again since I loved getting on it.

I'm retired and on a tight budget, plus I'm just naturally cheap...
If I had to pay European fuel prices - or even California prices - I'd be driving a Prius and walking a lot.

EdmondHad an '88 many years ago with the 4L60 4 speed auto. I thought you would've gotten 22-23 MPG.
Had a '03 Z06 as well and in 6th gear, that thing got pretty good mileage. Had to been close to 30 MPG.
Sometimes I miss having a sports car. Might end up getting one again one day.
