13mpg on the highway. That's my kinda driving. I had to raise that number up to 20ish though after I got that warning letter in the mail about my license lol. It's so weird I never got that with my 01 impala.

12mpg! Around town, heavy throttle! Haven't had it on the highway long enough to tell that number.

My issue was that somehow I got it in my head that any car on the road that pulled up beside me obviously wanted to race. For me minivans still count as win. Even if they didn't know they were racing.

I'll never understand someone concerning themselves with MPG when considering a 425hp 6.2L V8 sports car..

if you care about Miles Per Gallon buy a Prius, if you care about Smiles Per Miles buy a Camaro..


I opted for the later, could give a rats behind about MPG, I haven't owned a car in 25 years that I cared about MPG, I leave that worry to the wife (and yeah she has a Hybrid Camry).

That's another thing I'm kind of worried about, all the mods. I would hate to become addicted to it.

Man, some people got up on the wrong side of the bed. Who cares if it has been asked before. Especially when I see some really ridiculous questions. Like what color do you like....lol. Who cares what color I like....I bought the color I wanted and if someone doesn't like it, they are more than welcome to buy the one they like. Questions on how to do something, what could be causing this problem, what effect did this mod have on your car, etc? I's sure they have been asked numerous times too. But, that is how people learn and that is part of the purpose of this board.

OP - I get 20 mpg with 80 percent hwy speeds w/stops and 20 percent city streets. Hwy speeds vary between 65-75 using the A/C. 19 gal tank ....works out to about 380 miles. But, I would never run my tank below 1/2. Keeps fuel pump cool and I never run out of gas. Did that once and swore.....never again.

I'm already addicted... and only had the car for 2 days..


I spent quite a bit on mods today.. However my smile is ear to ear everytime I drive it, and will be even bigger when the packages start arriving..

I like ur point yardstick. I don't really understand why all the hostility. It's almost like I missed the memo saying there was a shortage on web space so the number of new camaro threads need to b limited.
