^^^^ Here we go again.
Why does everyone exaggerate SS MPG?
30 highway- lol

I get 14-15 city and 20-23 highway if I'm being good.

The 1LE is a performer--don't get it if your top priority is MPG, you'll probably be disappointed.

If mpg's are a worry, well...
I get 12 around town...

I've never had good gas mileage, and I probably never will

kevinw · 01-25-2014, 08:42 PM

not sure why the OP is concerned with gas mileage on a car like the 1 LE. that car is for performance, not gas mileage. if gas mileage is a concern, go with the less hp v6. a car like the 1 LE is gonna need premium fuel to run correctly

My TITAN only gets 10.5mpg, so I will be thrilled with 16-25mpg

Why are you people worried about MPG? next time buy a prius and talk about mpg on their forums.

I have to side with these guys. Go with a 4 cylinder sedan if you're concerned about gas mileage. Buy a Camaro if you're looking to have an amazing time behind the wheel and an awesome owner experience.

And I was also getting 17mpg average in my V6. Hardly any less in my V8, currently.

was that with the halos on or off

Not too concerned about MPG, i can easily afford the guzzling that comes with the V8. I only wanted to know what i could realistically expect =P

Well you can realistically expect not very good mpg's. :P

banter · 01-25-2014, 11:29 PM

Realistically, somewhere between 18-28. The former for city and latter highway.
