Caddy CTS-V Gas Mileage = Z/28 gas mileage?
I know that there are a few members on this forum that have CTS-V Caddy's. I noticed that the EPA gas mileage for the CTS-V is 12 mpg city and 18 mpg hway. I was wondering how close these numbers are to real life considering that it is looking more and more like the Caddy LSA engine will power the Z/28?

Doesn't Obama's new MPG regulations go into effect next year? If so, I guess the gas guzzler tax is on tap for the Z

If i remember right... its $3K on the CTS-V sedan. I'm not sure about the Coupe. My guess is it won't be as much on the Camaro since the Camaro is cheaper. |

i'd like to know why the 5.4L supercharged engine with 6 less hp in my GT500 can manage 23mpg on the freeway but the LSA can't... doesn't seem to make much sense. //edit maybe has something to do with both the size of the engine and the 40 less lbs of tq in the shelby? |

this is also in the CTS-V sedan which is a much heavier car. That could make a huge difference. |

Until we know the weight of the Z28 it will be hard to speculate on gas mileage.
I am thinking the Z will get hit with the gas guzzler tax though. |
