I keep reading people saying that as well: claims of better/same MPG with big V8's at moderate vs. higher speeds, and I'm skeptical too. Sounds like wishful thinking or maybe selective "data" by folks who like to drive fast. Maybe it's true, but I'm skeptical. (My only V8 was my first car, over half a lifetime ago!)
Just had a thought: I know a guy with a Corvette ZR1 (I think). I'm going to ask if he'd be interested in plotting a speed vs. mpg graph for it.
