I think you are forgetting that the EPA changed their fuel economy numbers a few years ago. The numbers from the new test are about 10% lower than they would have been under the old one. And since they're talking about active fuel management, I'm thinking that this is the automatic version which is currently rated at 25 mpg (and was 24 with the LS2, and 23 with the LS1).
As a side note ... what an age we live in where its
disappointing that a 450 hp car, capable of a sub 4 second 0-60 gets 26 mpg on the highway. Not too long ago it felt like a V6 sedan with half the power was doing well to post that kind of mileage.
