28 MPG is the figure AFTER being adjusted for the tougher standards. The Camaro 3800 had 31 MPG on the sticker.

So yeah. They should be compared. If GM can get 28 MPG out of a 60 year old engine, they should be able to get AT LEAST the same from a "modern" DOHC VVT V6. But apparently they can't. Freakin losers.
