You really dislike like AFM don't you.
This V8 beats TTV6 efficiency with cylinder de-activation. Without, I bet it would still match it. For the record, I'm only against turbos in cases when they provide no performance or efficiency advantage for the extra cost and complexity. I'm not against turbos in cases when they provide significant performance and/or efficiency benefits that justify their cost. In fact, family members have bought 2 turbo cars in the last year based on my recommendations.
Low 11s? Could you elaborate?
Stock vs. modded is a pointless comparison. Anything will run anything if cost and durability are no object. Since you asked, my GT gets around 29-30 MPG on the highway consistently as long as I use ethanol-free gas. My best tank last summer broke 31.
