To heavy not enough torque = poor gas mileage.

The C7 base gets 17 City/21 Combined/29 Highway. Not exactly the same. I'm getting over 32 after 40,000 miles "Combined".

I'm also guessing if I drove a C7 like I drive my FR-S, the gas mileage would be substantially less and I would have racked up a another several thousand dollars in traffic violations.
