Official V6 MPG confirmed at 29 MPG hwy! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

GM VP Troy Clark was just on CNBC and confirmed the V6 Camaro's official EPA highway to be 29 MPG!

Keep in mind, this new rating system is much more stringent than the old rating scale, so it's very possible if driven right the V6 could get over 30 mpg on the highway!

AMAZING!!!!!

Redwolf20 · 03-16-2009, 07:23 AM

Thanks! Now we just have to wait and see what the V8 pulls out.

Wow, I bet the v6'rs are happy with this!

justmeron · 03-16-2009, 07:23 AM

Wow! I hope the power is still over 300HP?

Oh yea, as long as it didn't hurt the power.

Don't fret guys, GM certified the hp rating at 304 already. Nothing's changed with that and nothing will.

Troy Clark on CNBC GM North America, showing Red Jewel Camaro in background stated the V-6 has been certified by the EPA at 29MPG!!!

:happyani m:
Hopefully, this isn't all of the good news!

ToddyC · 03-16-2009, 07:40 AM

That is great. My credit union gives an additional break on interest rates for cars getting 29 or higher, so that equates to money!!!

Great news for the V-6ers

Sierra · 03-16-2009, 07:44 AM
