CNET On Cars - Top 5: Fuel-efficient V8s

Brian Cooley runs down the top five ways you can have a V8 and good gas mileage, too.

you're forgetting the McLaren 3.8L V8... it completely avoids gas guzzler tax

I watch cooley reviews on a 75 inch tv and grab a beer. Such a relaxing weekend.

I was surprised I didn't see the Jaguar XF on this. 4 Doors, naturally aspirated V8 sending power to the rear wheels. I get an average of 21 mpg on the streets and have seen it go up to 27 mpg cruising highway. I also have a decently heavy foot so I am sure you can do better.

The reason for its low mpg is highly due to the low drag coefficient.

I get 22 mpg on my mustang gt and in the highway it goles over 30mpg.

Wtf cnet. You say the c7 stingray wins the test yet all the video clips were of the z06..

[jonathaningravalle]

Wow Corvettes are cheaper than I thought. That's a great performance to price ratio compared to the rest on the list.

[c.edwardslauderdale]

How about a video that shows the same thing but with pickups...

[akaSkItTLes]

american show, american car in no.1 who would have guessed hmm..

[Redspeed]

I knows this is not exactly an average joe kinda car but what about Koenigseggs models like the One:1? Just shy of 3000 pounds and 1340hp on E85("only" 11xx hp on normal pump gas). Don't know about the milage though :P

[BMan]

a 2012 SRT Challenger 6spd...32MPG.. o_o I miss that car... I need one more!!!! 392 HEMI BABY!!!!

[tonycampos]

2006 5.7 hemi charger 350hp 390tq 4100lbs 0-60 in 5.9 sec 18 mpg in the city and 25 and a half mpg on the highway of course i drive about 5 mph under the speed limit lol otherwise she will give me shit milage but im happy, neighbor has a ss trailblazer 6.0v8 and he get 14 mpg in the city and just 21 mpg on the highway but the truck is nice

Seems a little backwards. Usually a hear power divided by weight, here it is weight divided by power.

V8 engines are slowly fading into oblivion in new cars

[yautja]

If the car gets old, will perhaps consume more gas?

[josephmadison]

They showed a zo6 with the lt4 V8🤣 interested of the stingray

[CrowHawk]

GG I'm done I expected the mclaren mp12c

[gmman]

People I think Brain and his staff know WTF they are talking about, after all they do this for a living among other related things. I'm not trying to sound like a ass but y'all are disagreeing on the outcome and that's your right but I think they got this!

[seanoconnell]

You forgot koenigsegg and their v8's

[Grumpycat]

When I see BMW's on the same list with the fuel efficient cars I just..I'm just done..

[Mrsubaru]

He said "we selected cars only" the C7 is a sports car.
