I would imagine that the very tall 6th gear (0.50 I believe) has a lot to do with that.
My GTO turns 2000 rpm's at 80 mph in 6th and gets 25 mpg...I've never driven one, but I would think a Corvette would be turning probably around 1700 rpm and get even better mileage (as it's also more aerodynamic).
