How the 2026 Chevrolet Corvette running costs are calculated
Every figure on this page is calculated from official certified data — nothing is estimated, and no figure is carried over from a similar car:
- Consumption and COâ‚‚ are the certified values recorded in U.S. EPA (fueleconomy.gov), taken across the 1 configuration held for this model-year.
- Annual cost is consumption × mileage × the market's current average price for petrol, at 12,000 miles a year.
- The roadworthiness test and road tax use the United States national figures shown above. This market has no annual road tax for private cars, so none is charged here.
- Deliberately excluded: insurance, servicing, tyres, repairs and depreciation. They depend on the driver, the policy and the individual car, so putting a number on them would mean inventing one.
