Got a couple questions about the G6 GTP/Malibu SS/Malibu Maxx SS 3.9L 240-HP V6 engine:
Is this engine gonna be supercharged?
Will it require premium fuel? :confused:

Want to play have to pay. :) Honestly premium gas isnt that much more a gallon..I never understood the anti premium vibe I see occasionally.

Well, I don't know about gas prices in your area, but here as of last night it was $2.19 for regular unleaded and $2.40 for premium unleaded.

Exactly!!! Gas prices here are the normal split.. 30 to 40 cent different in extreme cases. Back in sept, 2001 I paid 4.30 a gallon for premium.. Not a huge ordeal. I don't make a ton of money either.. so don't think money isn't an issue..but with cars getting 20+ mpg in town these days.. all you need to do is monitor your driving habits for a while. I curbed crusing and just started drive to work and home from work exclusively. I think I put less than 10 dollars worth of gas in (at 2.10 a gallon) for a week. When I had my camaro and I used to drive excessively I would spend up to 100 dollars a week at 1.70 a gallon. When I couldn't afford to drive around as much I was still able to keep it under 20dollars a week just by driving when needed and not when I felt like it. Its not that hard or expensive when you think about it.

The 3900 on the GTP will not be supercharged but the one in the GXP should be. That's the current info anyway...
