    I know it uses the same L76 3800 supercharged V6 as the GTP. They were nice cars. I don't know if they had the same MPG as the GTP as the Riv was slightly longer and heavier.

    My neighbor has several and Ive helped him rebuild a couple of the superchargers and engines before. The supercharger def helps them get moving. Not sure exactly what he gets on mileage but hes said its nothing to write home about. Nice cars def good for a DD.



    Found a site that says 18/27 MPG for the supercharged model. Not bad for the size of the car.
