Its standard on 2LT and LTZ. 33mpg is a good deal, cant wait to see what will happen when we see a DI'ed 3.6 put in. near 300hp and 36mpg?
Is it possible that a Camaro that will weight about 100-200lbs more then Malibu could get over 30mpg with a 3.6 DI motor and 6spd manual or auto? If thats the case, Camaro could be the best thing GM has got going for it. 300hp and over 30mpg.
I'm imaging the potential economy with a DI 2.4 in the Malibu/Aura 6 speed with power held to current levels.
