I was just thinking earlier today that out of all the cars I own. The one with the best mileage also has the most HP.
2000 Chevy Astro van w/ 4.3 V6 - 17-18 mpg (150 crank HP if it's lucky) 2004 Chevy Silverado w/ 6.0 V8 - 12.5-13.5 mpg (300 crank HP) 1992 Eagle Talon w/ 2.0 turbo 4 - 19-22 mpg (regular commuting) (mid 500 crank HP) Ha... Go figure I can drain an 1/8th of a quarter of tank of gas in the Talon in one quarter mile blast at wide open throttle though.
