You'd be surprised. 30-36MPG is not unheard of from the LS1 motor on a motorway run, 20-23MPG round town. (UK gallons)
and the Z; just like the C5 Z before it doesnt have the gas guzzler tax on it... which does say a lot. US gallons it gets somewhere near 27-28 mpg...
But to realize that mileage you must quickly short shift to 6th and not go above 1800rpm and be on the freeway

In other words, drive it like it wasn't meant to be
