With its short gearing it would suffer from fuel consumption, but GM doesn't need to announce, and can actually use SS base model's better fuel consumption numbers in its window sticker due to 1LE just being a package. These rules are meant to make life a bit less complex and easier for the manufacturers, but they also cause these 'little' side effects : )
