If it has the same LS2 drive train as all the other vehicle's, and a T-56...why wouldn't it?
Im sure if you drove it crazy fast or actually had fun with it you would see single digit mpg, but just hwy cruising it should be near 30.

Well.... For 2005, these are the rated MPGs for the LS2 6-speed cars.

CTS-V - 13-21
C6 - 16-26
GTO -15-23
SSR -12-19

Yeah, cliff is right. There are two other things to consider when comparing the same drivetrain in different cars. Weight and wind resistance. The car with the best milage numbers on that list (the C6 corvette) is also the lightest and most aerodynamic of the group.


It's something else to think about too when comparing the 3800 powered GP to the 3400 powered GA. The GA is about 300lbs lighter and has smaller frontal area than the GP.
