ZL1 MPG?
I am on the fueleconomy.gov website and even though they dont list different option cars other then motor size, you think this is viable?
2012 Chevrolet Camaro 6.2 L, 8 cyl, Manual 6-spd, Premium Gasoline http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/image...compare1bv.png http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/photo..._Camaro_SS.jpg 14 City 16 Combined 19 Highway Not Available $3,900 per year MSRP: $23,280 - $54,095 2012 Chevrolet Camaro 6.2 L, 8 cyl, Automatic (S6), Regular Gasoline http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/image...compare1bv.png http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/photo..._Camaro_SS.jpg 12 City 14 Combined 18 Highway Not Available $4,200 |
That sounds about right. Manual is accurate: 14/19
For the record - we observed 19.5 on a mixed trip in stick. Massive torque does have non-performance advantages when tooling around town. :D |
Wow, I had no idea MPG on the ZL1 was that poor. No wonder it gets hit with the gas guzzler tax. I would have figured around 23-25mpg with the LSA.

16/26mpg? I'll be VERY impressed if they actually manage that good a mileage. I swear I recall not too long ago someone saying something like 14/20...Hopefully the supercharger and that much torque are keeping it low enough in the rpm's that it actually gets the 16/26 though.

tpower! the go to guy, would you happen to have the warranty guide on you, im sure people would like to know what it has in there concerning the track.

Those appear to be Canadian numbers (16-26mpg).
The US EPA Numbers must be less than that, otherwise, why the Gas Guzzler tax?? Just wondering.... |
It's because the Canadian rating uses Imperial gallons, which are equivalent to 1.2 US Gallons. There is a slight testing difference, but I suspect that makes less difference.
The mileage doesn't make that much difference to me, unless the competition is getting more power and getting better mileage. |

Why would we (Canada) use imperial gallons? There is no such measurement in Canada anymore. Everything is metric. We don't do fuel testing here to the best of my knowlege, so they would have to be converted US data.
