Here's my thoughts (not that anyone cares lol) but in real world driving, I honestly do think that many people can and do beat EPA estimates for the 2.7. In the testing I've seen for the new GM mid-size trucks, some people are reporting they are getting what the EPA says and some are saying they are getting better. It's still too early to know how it will turn out though. That said, the EPA numbers for the 2.7 are not good. In the FS trucks...the EPA ratings for the 2.7 are virtually the same as the 5.3. In the mid-size trucks the ratings are lower than the last gen V6. Now, in the Chevy Traverse and the GMC Acadia (both using that same V6) I'm inclined to think the 2.7 won't do any better there either. The SUV space is a segment where gm can't afford to offer new vehicles with even worse EPA ratings than their predecessors.

It's strange honestly. The typical mission for these smaller boosted motors is to perform well on the EPA tests. Then later of course we find out real world numbers are poor compared to those tests (EcoBoast).

It is funny, but I'd argue the real world numbers for this 2.7 are opposite of Ecoboast and that they are equal or slightly better than EPA ratings. The results found on fuelly.com seem to back that up.

One guy who has a Canyon AT4 recently filmed a video where he went 50-55 MPH for a decent stretch and got like 28 MPG.

The same is true for twin turbo V6s vs. N/A V8s. |

Had no idea this site took credit card info and password is encrypted and shouldn't have to be entered each visit. Either way it's fixed now.

Beats me. I took it to mean that going to Camaro6 by just proceeding would open up the rest of the computer to hacks or whatever. It could have been just a generic warning.

Yeah, it's a warning mainly for sites that sell something where you have to enter sensitive information to make a purchase.
