I've learned through research that it's not about V8 engines. It's about high performance. I want to go fast, therefore I will get around 20mpg average city and highway.
Now I see you drive an RX8. Really nice car. The epa fuel mileage is 18 / 24 mpg and 0-60mph in 6.7 sec. Not a V8, no and I mean 0 low end torque. I'm 6'7" and can't even get in an RX8.
The Pontiac G8 is rated 15 / 24mpg, 0-60 in a much quicker 5.3 seconds, room for the whole neighborhood inside. BMW's with similar performance deliver similar fuel mileage. Camaro V8 will also be similar.
I'm not buying a economy (slow) car to save any amount. But to each his own.
But where does the $150 extra come from?
