Yeah I made that up because I need to impress people online.
It's called very tall gearing in 6th coupled with more accurate injectors that allow the engine to tolerate a leaner burn at cruise.
My much heavier sedan can top 30 mpg imperial gallons with a 700hp turbo LS3 now in place of the old LS1. And that is with lower gearing than a Viper. That's real mpg not some instant dash readout.
