My pop's C6 can get dang near 30mpg at a steady 65mph cruise (not that any of these cars are usually cruised at 65).
I think the 370 could use a taller 6th, it certainly has the torque.

Good post. Personally, I prefer the shorter gearing for the Z as it's a mountain/twisties kind of car more so vs the other two. So giving up a few mpg's on the highway has never been a concern for me.
Wait a minute, I live on a frickin island.....what's a highway??
