For all of the dismissals the sport cars and truck aficianados have been making when they hear comments about their cars not keeping up with the time, they sure make a big deal once their highway mileage gets above 25mpg. I guess fuel economy does matter after all.

GM squeezed every MPG out of these with every trick in the book probably. The GMC version looks about a billion times better to me.
