Due to the upcoming WAR, I decided to check out some fuel mileages of several sports cars and got some surprising results.
Looks like engine size, power and fuel mileage does not necessarily corrolate.
*2.0L 4-cylinder Honda S2000 and 3.5L V6 Nissan 350Z has the same fuel mileage... and they are only a marginally better than the 405HP 5.7L V8 Corvette Z06.
*All specifications and mpg are from the manufacturer's website unless specified.
