No worries, I don't mind the questions! The vette is supposed to go from 1st to 4th, its called skip shift and that, along with a long 6th gear help the gas mileage. The ship shift was very annoying so it has a skipshift eliminator which allows you to shift normally like any other sports car or manual, but that does decrease the city mileage. Most vette guys got rid of that feature right away, and GM just wanted to avoid new buyers from paying gas guzzler tax which is why the vette, although it has a 6.0l v8 doesn't fall under the "gas guzzler" category
