Commodore becomes more gutless in the name of economy

Holden cuts power to save fuel - drive.com.au

Quote:
Holden is sacrificing power and performance in its Commodore V6 in an effort to save owners between $1.68 and $3.65 per week.

In only the second time in the Commodore’s 30-year history a new model will arrive in dealerships with less power than the model it replaces, all with the aim of reducing fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions.
I can seriously see this backfiring and causing the real world economy of the Commodore to increase. Less power at a higher peak will just cause the engine to work harder.
