Just finished a 6,700 mile trip in my 07 Z06. Price for gas ranged from $3.69 to $4.539. This trip included California to Tennessee to Michigan and back to California. Car got 25.45 MPG. Overall price of gas was $4.04 for the entire trip. I had a meeting I needed to attend in Louisville and so my wife suggested we take the Z06 rather than fly so I could run the Tail of The Dragon in Tennessee. My wifes main reason was that we could visit friends and relatives along the way but I was surprised that she suggested the Corvette. Got one ticket in Iowa for no front license. This was on the same day that the tornadoes devastated part of Iowa. We went through a thunder storm where I couldn't see the road at all. I was afraid to stop or even slow down quickly because there was a big rig right behind me and the only thing I could see was his headlights. Luckily not being able to see the road only lasted a few seconds. Hit a similar storm in the Nevada desert. I could at least see the yellow line at the side of the road during that event.
