No way will a 6.0 liter 400 hp car get 25 mpg. The automatic even has a $1300 gas guzzler tax. Go here www.gtoforum.com and they will answer your questions.

Have you ever actually owned an LS1/LS2 equipped car? I have, and I can tell you 25MPG is easily attainable on the highway using stock gearing. Heck, my 452rwhp modded LS1 SS Camaro got 21-23MPG highway mileage, and that's ~525HP at the crank with 3.73 gears through a Moser 12 bolt.
Doesn't the GTO cruise around 75-80mph in 6th at 1800rpm?
