Hello everyone, new to the forum...

Remember, the GM V8 gets GREAT fuel economy already in the Vette. Making 400 (and now 430HP) it gets high 20's in the highway so while the Camaro will weigh more (sadly) it should still get great fuel economy for the power and engine it is.

I predict, the V8 will probably get 18/27 since they are most likely going to use DOD technology. I currently own a lovely RX8, rotary powered, and the EPA rates it at 18/24 which I average 19mpg city in so if I can reach 22 mpg in mixed driving in my next car (5th Gen Camaro) I wont complain.

I know alot of people don't trust the EPA numbers, but I've never had problems reaching and beating their numbers. Yup...even in my gas hog rotary.
