Was that ever explicitly said?
I know the new LT-1 is supposed to impress us all with its efficiency (not being facetious on this point - I LOVE this new small block...)...but I don't recall ever hearing them say mpg was the reason for not doing a TTV6. I remember Tadge Juechter saying that a V6 wasn't right for the car...and that it didn't provide the performance they wanted...but never that it couldn't provide the efficiency.
