In an early page, one stated 30 mpg on the highway is not impressive for a sports car, and cited the 86 GT. I believe 34 mpg.

It's evident there isn't a direct relationship between MPG and HP, but having twice the horsepower, and almost 90% of the fuel economy, is impressive. I don't think anyone is talking about price, we're talking power to fuel economy- it's not the new Porsche, but it's also not a hybrid and it's less than a million.
