2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray gets 29-mpg EPA highway rating

The latest drop in the slow drip of details about the new 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray comes not from the automaker itself, but the U.S. government, which today revealed the mileage ratings for the all-new model with a seven-speed manual. At 17 mpg city and 29 mpg highway, the new Vette spars with the Porsche 911 Carrera for fuel-efficiency superiority among sports cars — figures that seem astonishing given the Vette's 455-hp V-8.
