2013 Chevrolet Corvette: 16/26 mpg city/highway (manual); 15/25 mpg (automatic)
EPA
2013 Chevrolet Corvette Z06: 15/25 mpg city/highway

2013 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1: 14/21 mpg city/highway
EPA
Around town, no Corvette is all that efficient, however: the base, convertible, and Grand Sport models rate 16 mpg city and 26 mpg highway; the Z06 falls to 15/24 mpg; and the ZR1 rates 14/21 mpg. The 427 Convertible hasn't yet been rated.
Our editors note that while the EPA's figures are good guidelines, observed fuel economy on the highway can easily exceed the estimated ratings in real-world use, often climbing near 30 mpg.
Conclusion
Despite being a potent, powerful sports car (or supercar) the 2013 Corvette can be surprisingly fuel efficient, too.
