So now you're going to compare a 3200lb coupe to a 3500lb convertible and wonder why one can get 20mpg regardless of how it is driven?

Yes, the LS series of motors are very efficient. I managed high 20's in my '06 GTO, but to suggest that there is going to be a big difference between a portly LS powered Camaro and the new Mustang is disingenuous.
