New EPA Testing Reduces Gas Mileage Estimates Gas mileage estimates for 2008 model vehicles reflect the Environmental Protection Agency’s new, stricter testing methods. City MPG estimates have dropped by about 12

percent on average; highway MPG estimates by about 8 percent on average. City estimates for hybrids are about 20 to 30 percent lower; highway estimates 10 to 20 percent lower. Estimates may vary widely by model. The new testing accounts for factors previously missing or not fully considered, including high speed and rapid acceleration, air conditioner use, and cold-temperature operation.

Changes for the 2008 model year Chevrolet Corvette involve everything from an all-new, larger and more powerful V-8 engine, to refinements in driving characteristics, interior and exterior, all of which solidify the Corvette’s position as the pre-eminent American sports car, and further the argument that it is one of the world’s best.
