Saturn says the 2004 Vue can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 7 seconds, which is pretty quick (and about 1.5 seconds quicker than the 2003 model). Yet EPA fuel economy ratings remain unchanged (19/25 mpg for the AWD V6). Variable-valve timing enhances high-end power, low-end torque and fuel economy.
Contrary to what logic might dictate, 0dBm (generally just designated 0dB on a VU meter) is not zero sound but, in a sense, the opposite, the maximum desirable sound level. (Granted, that's a bit confusing, but, then again, we didn't make up this system!) The 0dB point on the meter is just a reference point.
