a) you can't quote worth a ****. b) you've got your facts wrong.
the reason why you own your car is MPG? i know several cars, without doing any research at all, that get better MPG. (about as much nonsense as you are spewing, thrown right back at you.)
if she wasn't about running her car, then why would she be complaining on
her website (no one went fishing for that one, it bit us in the ass) that her car is not performing to her satisfaction?
quantify your 33 MPG. was that downhill, with the wind to your back? from one gas station to the next, down I-95? saying you get 33 MPG in the context that you use would lead someone to believe you get 33 MPG every time you drive it, which we all know to be false:

Similar styling and an economical engine show up in a base Camaro, also cast as coupe and convertible. Its 3.8-liter V6 delivers 200 hp with either the Hydra-matic 4-speed automatic or a stock manual 5-speed transmission.

if you've got: Forged motor, Heads, cam, intake (the only things i can see in your signature that contribute to power production, not even a better exhaust!), you'd have to have gotten an additional 170 horsepower (ok, 70 horsepower if you remove the 100-shot of nitrous oxide, which i have to assume you added in to make your number bigger) and everyone with a V6 wants to know where you got your parts so they can get some too, and, then explain how it is that you are getting 33 MPG? if you are still on a stock tune, which you claim to be, then your car is running like **** with large plumes of black smoke coming from the tailpipe. that's extra gas, in case you didn't know, and it would bring down your MPG significantly. so, which is the truth and which is the lie?
don't come to my house looking for a fight. you'll lose everytime.
