Save gas, right? LOL
Today the odometer on my Camaro rolled 465 miles. I left the dealer 7 days ago, Saturday around 7PM, with 13 miles. My commute accounts for 100-120 miles a week depending on if I work 5 days or 6.
So the rest of that has been just....effing off  When I bought the car I was like yea! More fun to drive, looks sweet, gets better MPG! My trade in was a 2005 Silverado Crew Cab. ACTUALLY, all I have succeeded in doing is averaging 22MPG while driving it like a sports car and using the same dollar amount of gas, just getting to drive a bunch more! Babying my Silverado around it was getting perhaps 17MPG...and absolutely no fun to drive. Not to mention....you don't get excited seeing other crew cab Silverados around. If anything, I was rather sick of them  Ah hell, still was a great choice

You'll get a little better mileage the more you break in the car, be patient.

I get 18 to 20 in my SS vert. 16 in my Dodge Caravan. Which one do you think gets driven? Of course the fun one!

 It was more of a jab at the fact that I'm already averaging 5MPG better but now I'm just driving more because it's fun now

If you care about gas milage, don't get the SS.
I get roughly 16MPG and I don't drive it like I stole it. I give it a bootfull from time to time though. You can almost see the fuel needle moving towards empty

I traded in an Avalanche that was getting me 14~16MPGs, the main reason I got my Camaro in the first place was to save a little gas, my first tank got me an average of 22~23 MPGs, it has gone up considerably since then, I am now averaging 30+MPGs now(I live out in the sticks where there isn't much traffic at all, mostly country driving)
I really don't miss my Avalanche.

Haters gonna hate?

When I had my trailblazer I got 18. Then my v6 I got 22. Now my v8 gets 22+ I have no idea how that happened either. But I'm not complaining
