Those are the two main reasons it gets such good gas mileage - engine design has little to do with it...

My auto gets 24+ on the highway.............hmmmm
Like I said, BIGGER MORE POWERFUL MOTOR AND BETTER FUEL MILEAGE.
If its so easy why didnt Ford do it? Oh! I see, they didnt want to get good fuel mileage
And it was more or less a joke dude.

And as for the "why didn't Ford do it" part, that's a good question. I'll never understand it. But, you can bet your *** that it isn't because they can't.

Final drive ratio definitely helps the fuel economy of the LS1 in the old F-bodies. From what I've seen, the '04 GTO's get sh*tty fuel economy and they've got the LS1 in them. Kinda' proves that point.

For the amount of HP LS1's get awsome fuel economy. Mine is geared now and still gets good MPG cammed with gears.
