Z06 EPA fuel economy

[DenisC8]

The Z06’s EPA mpg ratings are 12 City and 19/21 Highway. The 19 mpg is with the aero package (Z07) and 21 mpg with a Z06 in the base trim. The combined mpg rating is 14/15 (Z07/Base)."

How does that compare to the current base Stingray or Z51? With and without high wing?

What is the gas tank size? Is it the same as C8 Stingray AFA capacity?

Found it Z06 is 18.5 US gallon tank (70 litres), same as my car.

If these fuel consumption ratings are accurate, one can expect to have an additional excise fuel tax added to the car price before tax. On the 12/19 mpg (19.6/12.4 l/100k) EPA rating the tax is $4,000 and on the 12/21 mpg (19.6/11.2 l/100k) EPA rating the tax is $3,000. (refer to Current Rates of Excise Taxes - Canada.ca ). The Select Luxury Item Tax and applicable Sales Tax is on top of that!

Wow I didn’t even think of that. This is just getting worse and worse.

The excise tax on fuel-inefficient vehicles is calculated on the basis of the weighted fuel consumption rating. For purposes of this tax, the weighted fuel consumption rating is calculated by combining 55% of the city fuel consumption rating with 45% of the highway fuel consumption rating.
