Your LS has a lower 5th gear ratio than a GSR (0.714 vs. 0.787), a lower final drive (4.266 vs. 4.400), lacks VTEC, is redlined at 7000rpm vs. 8100, and makes 142hp vs. 170 for the GSR - all of which hurt fuel economy for the GSR vs. your car.
Do you seriously get 40mpg? How do you drive your car? Cause if you get a serious 40mpg in all round driving than I will take back everything I have said. I know my car is supposed to get 20mpg city/28 highway, but when I drive it like an asshole I get about 17mpg
. In all seriousness, I just don't see what the big deal with fuel economy and efficiency is, because it takes a lot of driving to make up for the extra cash you had to spend for the "efficient" car.
