If I had the money for 2 cars for myself I would get a Z-28 for the weekends.
well it will negatively affect a cars mpg. example is my old 4th gen 28 mpg highway stock. after LT headers, magnaflow catback, lid, ls6 intake, and tune I barely saw 23mpg on the highway. just cause it has a GG charge doesn't man you can't live with it for a DD.

lol. mine is combined rural highway with little city driving. currently 22 miles one way to work. 30 gal tank I use 1/4 for 1 round trip. and seeing how I haven't actually been able to get the exact mileage out of the tank. and knowing it's 7.5 gal per 1/4. I round down for the sake of optimism. I get 6.28 mpg with mostly highway. I need a motorcycle.
