This looks an awful lot like a troll, but against my better judgment, I'll bite:

Power doesn't have to mean lousy fuel economy all the time.

I don't mean to offend, but getting single digit MPG points to driving technique more than equipment.

Even a 505 hp Corvette Z06 is capable of returning decent fuel economy (for a 505 hp vehicle... it's all relative of course) ...if the driver actually wants to get it.

See these two threads:
