So the new Impalla that chevy has released has a option for a 330 HP V8 with 28 highway fuel consumption.
Thats amazing. Just amazing. I wonder how far fuel efficency can be pushed? |

The manufacturers don't cheat on the sticker numbers. The EPA does the testing and certification.... and I agree it's flawed. They have a very specific city loop and highway loop and it doesn't come close to real life.
There have been talks about revising this silly EPA standard, but what would the customers do if all of a sudden they went into a showroom and saw the fuel economy sticker to be 20-40% lower than it was on the same model than it was last year? |
