I used my economy car (C5) quite a bit over the weekend. Saturday alone was over 100 miles of driving. At better than 20 mpg around town, it just makes it better to drive.

I must be a bad american then - I used the snow blower instead of the C5 to clear snow from my driveway - does the C5 get better mileage than the snow blower?

If you used the snowblower to get the C-5 out, it's okay.
All the best.

I recently purchased a Scion xB because I needed the room for more than 2 people and the ability to carry stuff.. Its also an auto which is nice for those city jams. Last two fill-ups were 31.85 and 32.89 mpg in mostly city traffic..
I love my Z but I certainly appreciate the economy of the toy-box.
It also makes the Z more thrilling everytime I drive it..

I know what you mean. Out of all my cars my Z06 gets the best mileage The Tahoe and Bronco just don't cut it. As a matter of fact I'm going to sell the ole OJ mobile and find a nice little turbo 4 banger to make the commute a little nicer to the wallet
