Chevrolet Corvette vs Mercedes-Benz AMG GT: what the numbers mean
Running cost over five years: at the EPA's 15,000-mile-a-year assumption the Chevrolet Corvette burns about $3,250 of fuel annually against $3,450 for the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT. That $200 yearly gap compounds to roughly $1,000 over five years and $1,600 over eight — often more than the price difference between two trims of the same vehicle, and the single largest running-cost line item separating these two.
City versus highway split: the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT is the stronger commuter at 20 mpg city, while the Chevrolet Corvette pulls ahead on the interstate at 29 mpg highway. If most of your driving is stop-and-go traffic the city figure is the one to weigh; for long-distance highway mileage the reverse is true, and the two vehicles effectively swap places depending on how you drive.
Powertrain choice: the Chevrolet Corvette is recorded with 4 distinct engine configurations (SIDI & PFI, SIDI, SIDI & PFI; Hybrid), the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT with 3 (SIDI, SIDI; Mild Hybrid, SIDI; PHEV). Across 49 recorded Chevrolet Corvette configurations and 67 for the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT, the wider the engine spread the more the real-world fuel efficiency depends on which version you actually buy, so check the specific model year and drivetrain rather than the headline number.
Drivetrain and class: the Chevrolet Corvette is offered with Rear-Wheel Drive, All-Wheel Drive, the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT with All-Wheel Drive, Rear-Wheel Drive, 4-Wheel Drive. All-wheel drive typically costs one to two mpg combined against the same vehicle in front- or rear-wheel drive, which is worth remembering when the gap between these two is small. The EPA classes them as Two Seaters and Two Seaters respectively — the class drives the interior volume, cargo space and passenger space each one is measured against.
Tailpipe emissions: at their cleanest configurations the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT emits 397 g/mile of CO2 versus 426 g/mile for the Chevrolet Corvette. Emissions track fuel consumption almost exactly, so the cleaner vehicle here is also the cheaper one to fuel.
