This is due to the very impressive MPG of the Corvette which is not expected at over 3x the engine displacement of the BRZ!

A Ferrari 458 on the other hand with comparable engine performance to the Corvette only gives 14 MPG, this'll result in about 90$/month extra on the BRZ. This figure is still measly considering this is a Ferrari with all other costs being more significant.

But hey, it never hurts to check if i didn't I would've thought the Corvette be more at 13 MPG and I'll be paying over a 100$/month difference and that is significant money for me personally.

But that's just me, I do like to budget carefully for everything. People are different I guess

If you're buying a C8 or a 458, does the $100 really matter. Just rake the leaves.
