A10 Fuel Economy

ron scubadiver · 02-28-2017, 09:52 AM

I know anyone who buys a ZL1 doesn't care about how much gas it uses, but I was curious as to what the EPA fuel consumption rating is for the A10. It has a higher gas guzzler tax than the manual. It is unusual for modern automatics to use more fuel than a manual in the same car.

If I remember right, it is 12 City, 15 combined, 20 Hwy.
I think the A10 will do way better than that if you want it to. It will be hard to not play with the performance shifting though.

Thank you for that resource. Amazing how a 1 mpg decrease in average mileage increases the gas guzzler tax by $1k.

It's a government money racket

The GGT is nothing more than a Government extortion scheme. When I had my 2009 G8 GXP I got hit with a $1300 GGT, the car always did way better than what the fuel mileage rating said for the vehicle.
