It can, but remember that the biggest factor will probably be the use of cylinder deactivation which is rumored to be a feature in the Camaro. Cylinder deactivation only works when cruising, so mileage is heavily based upon how often the driver accelerates. Fast acceleration in a V8 is going to be more gas-guzzling than a V6 regardless of what features either engine has. In other words, how you drive determines whether you will have good gas mileage or not.
