On a recent road trip, my 2017 Chevy Cruze with a 1.4 liter 4-cylinder
turbo got 51.6 miles per gallon. Apples and oranges. I'll take apples.

My 68 Camaro has a 502 big block developing 610 HP on pump gas, normally 
aspirated.  It gets about 15 mpg if you keep your foot out of it, and about 
8 if you do not.  My 2005 Dodge Viper Truck has a V-10 running 505 HP and 
gets 7 mpg in the city and 13 on the highway.

I'll take oranges any day of the week, which is why I joined the Amps Group. 
But then, I really like power in any form.
