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.
That engine didn't have anywhere close to the power this 3.6 DI engine has. This is not the Cobalt replacement. Wait for the 2.0 DI turbo if you want a Camaro for gas milage. I don't think it will scare off anybody who is seriously looking at this type of car.
