Seems theres a new GM car with this engine and the economy is no better dropping from 3.6 to 3.0. Theres less torque, so has to be floored more to get into the revs to move it at the same rate. US fuel ratings have constant acceleration forces that must be met. That means it cant be driven really slowly just to get good economy.
Thats what the commodore will be like in the real world, our GOVT figures may hide it so it seems its a fair bit better than the 3.6. Read a bit of this : http://www.gminsidenews.com/forums/f...17-26-a-82345/ |
