Maybe this just means pushrod V-8's make sense.
How can the Focus RS be lighter and less powerful, yet get worse MPG?
To be fair,
About +1 MPG is due to the 2016 Camaro's 8-speed automatic vs. 6 ratios on the Focus.
About +1 MPG is due to the 2016 Camaro's cylinder deactivation.
About +1 MPG is due to the 2016 Camaro's 2wd vs. AWD on the Focus.
2016 Focus RS, 350 hp, 0-60=4.6sec, 3400 lbs, $37k, 17city/23hiway, CD=.355
2016 Camaro SS, 455 hp, 0-60=3.9sec, 3800 lbs, $37k, 17city/28hiway, CD=.350(for the 5th generation model)
A Focus less blown (smaller turbo, less displacement, slow):
2016 Focus ST, 252 hp, 0-60=6.3sec, 3250 lbs, $30k, 23/32, CD=.300
