Why is the ZL1 so horrible on gas mileage?

good to know a lot of you guys dont pay for your own gas....

I bought a 56,000 dollar car too, but gas money is gas money. The less I spend on gas, the more I have to spend elsewhere.

I think your point is well understood, but...the bottom line is about word choices, and how they are presented in making a point in written form. Possibly the OP's intensions were sound, but to some it may have been seen to be a bit antagonistic.

I find this topic kindof funny, This car has the best MPG of any car ive owned, at 17 mpg avg i couldn't be happier.

I averaged 18.5 mpg on the freeway with the cruise set at 78 mph and I was pleasantly surprised since it's rated at 19 mpg hwy, so I do not think it gets horrible gas mileage.

Please remember that the supercharger will require up to 120 hp at max RPM. That is part of the reason for our gas guzzler nickname, lol.
