I wasn't talking about your mpg. I'm talking about the 3.1 vs a 3.8 and some people comments are getting a little bit out of control and I just feel that both engines are good far as reliability and mpg. My friends gtp gets 28 mpg and he is modded.(lightly)

Because they wonder off topic and are repetive ,and for me I could care less about gas mileage but in a head to head contest of gas mileage I would bet on Herc because a GTP has a better gear ratio(for mileage) and I think the 3100 is underpowered for a GP and belongs in a Grand Am.Chico(pops)

I guess they love me

Look turbo on 3400 engine video. It is almost same as my 3100 engine. It could be done. Also, they have swap for 3400 engine on SE model too. Pretty interesting. They are more cheaper than 3800 engine.
