Yes, I would expect more gains since 1987. My daily driver is a 1996 Impala SS which weighs in around #4500 and is powered by a Corvette LT1 5.7L V8 and has "power everything". The window sticker shows an EPA est of 16 MPG city, 26 MPG hwy but I've seen as high as 28-29 on the highway (hand calculated over two or three tanks and cruising @ +/- 70 MPH).
13 years and not much progress.....???
