Maybe in your dreams it will get 28 MPG (with a tail wind at 55 MPH)
It will likely average about half that or less in town and that is a
gas guzzler. There are speed limits and you do not need anything never
400 HP to exceed them in a car nor do you need 400 HP to get there. GM
should spend research money on better MPG cars, not trendy cars to
make a few fast bucks. I drove a old Cmaary with a 4cyl and a 5 speed
for years that would easily exceed 100 MPH with no real effort aand it
got about 30 MPG in town and around 40 on highway running 65 to70. It
had a bad day when it only got 35 or 36 on a trip. Drove it well over
200K miles and its mileage was always consistant and never varied more
than a few MPG in its life. It can be done but GM is not interested in
it.
