I doubt your '97 made the kind of power that this newer V-6 does.

Even with more modern technology (DOHC, multi-valve, direct injection), you can't defy the laws of physics. If those 300+ horses are really there, they expect to get fed.

It all depends on how many you use and how hard you want to run 'em.

Shed 1,000 pounds off the new Camaro and you'll help fuel burn too, and do it while improving performance in all areas. But, that's probably the most costly thing you can do, even if it is also the most useful.
