Their website just says 130mph for all the cars when I look at it.

Thing is, with a 200hp engine you aren't going to do 140mph and you sure as
hell aren't going to get 38mpg on a US gallon. With the 255hp engine 140 is
a reality and so is below 30mpg. Below 30mpg is not fuel efficient in my
book, especially when a 300hp 4wd pickup truck gets 20-22mpg.

That's really all I was trying to say to Phil, the car he prefers is just a
regular gas guzzling American favorite. I can't imagine $6.00-7.00 per
gallon with a car like that. I mean I drive 25K miles per year, do the
math.
