This is how I get 27 mpg+ on a car rated at 22 mpg

What is that? Like you save $5/month lose 5 hours/month?

Quit trolling, eh? For a 2.4L I4, the tC has relatively boatloads of torque. It's relatively poor gas mileage is mostly because of its gear ratios. In order to get the Corvette's EPA rated mileage, you have to drive it like a grandma. As soon as you drive it the way it's meant to be driven (hopefully on the track), the Corvette's mileage drops to the single digits.

And considering that one could buy about 3 tC's for the price of a single Corvette, I'd say he's still saving money with the tC even if it got 5mpg.

And you have to drive a tC like the falming devil himself to keep up with a Vette driven by Grandma. Thats why its a poor comparison. ANY car driven wisely will get good milage, ANY car driven aggresively will see a hit in milage. But driving a Vette wisely you can still outrun someone driving and econobox aggresively.
