Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (May 19, 2007 6:34 pm) A guy I went to college with has a C5 Vette that he can squeak nearly 30 mpg out of. At 65 mph in 6th gear it is turning 1,700 or so rpms. He is an OCD electrical engineer though so he is constantly obsessing about efficiency. Replies to this message: bhill2 (May 22, 2007 11:17 am)

Since the sales numbers don't agree with the voting, I would venture to say these voters did not buy the cars they were voting for. Those (sales numbers) would be the votes that count.

Replying to: british_rover (May 20, 2007 1:54 pm) Just as a side note, indeed a C5 with the 6-speed manual can hit close to (or at) 30 mpg on the highway. As a note, at 65 mph it's turning closer to 1,500 rpm. 6th gear works out to about 45 mph per 1000 rpm. The acceleration isn't so great, but at 65 you have about 4 other gears to choose from.
#72 of 72 GM Needs more than this by usedcarsonly Jun 11, 2007 (10:37 am)
GM needs more if they plan on taking back their #1 spot. Advertising is terrible. Cars are getting better, but still not what they were 20 years ago. Camaro will help a bunch, but they need more.
