Also, the LS3 gets 2 mpg worse mileage than the LS2 in the vette. sooo I would image that there will be at least a 5-6 mpg difference between an LS3 Camaro (~24) vs an L76 (~30)

AH! RED-FLAG!!
Are you taking into account the fact that the EPA redesigned how they are testing and reporting car's estimated fuel economy for any new cars debuted in '07, on? Because part of the advertised and recognized brilliance of the LS3 is that it did NOT change fuel economy while adding more power between the LS2 and itself.
:pEither way. I do agree that the L76 will undoubtedly offer better fuel economy.
