the ratings are up for the G8 GT on fueleconomy.org now

It looks like only the GT is listed why not the V6?



Campared to:
City Combined Hwy car HP
15 18 24 2008 Pontiac G8 GT 376HP auto
16 19 23 2002 Camaro 5.7L 300HP auto
14 16 19 2006 GTO 6.0L 400HP auto

I would guess the G8 is the heviest??


At least I think this is for the GT. I don't see the engine size listed?

376hp..only thing I can think of is the 6.0l.

City MPG looks poopy...but 24mpg highway out of normal octane V8? ftw

 

[OctaneZ28]

Hmm, I was hoping for better than that.

However, the G8 GT is ~280lbs heavier than the GTO, so it getting a better rating than the GTO is saying something.

 

[Luwinkle]

It'd probably get better with the 6spd manual..but 24mpg highway with that just boggles my mind a bit.

And considering the GTO has a LS2 that uses premium fuel compared to a L76 with regular octane .

 

[slims00ls1z28]

I'm sure the a6 has alot to do with why it gets better than the a4 in the older GTO. My 6m gets what the GT is rated at.

 

[brandonppr]

I heard the A6 gets better than the M6 because the A6 has AFM and the M6 doesn't.

 

[brandonppr]

Did you notice it says "premium fuel"?

 

[Luwinkle]

That better **** well be a typo. :x

 

[CUONCRS]

All of those are twice as good as my F150.

[Luwinkle]

[brandonppr]

Maybe its the GXP

 

[Luwinkle]

Maybe its the GXP

Or maybe it's just the Fed Gov't f'in with my brain, MAN. *tinfoil hat*

 

[brandonppr]

The Fbody LS1 cars say in the owners manual that you can run regular, but may lose some accelleration.

 

[OctaneZ28]

Yup, the Challenger gets whacked with a $2100 gas guzzler tax.

 

[brandonppr]

Yeah thats a good whack.

I hope the Camaro can stay off that as much as possible.

The 7.0L 500HP Z06 vette didn't get a gas guzzler tax. Of course its lighter though, but still its 500HP
