I'm having a blast spinning the tires since the supercharger install. Drive in boost alot.
Split city/freeway and averaging 19.8mpg last 2000 miles.....I spend most of the time on the freeway around 80mph....Pure interstate trip at 70-80 the entire way got me 21.8mpg.....

I don't check mine at all. I know that I do about 35-40 miles aday and I fill up on my 6th day. And that is town driving. I do know that after I took my muffles off my foot is heavier. But, the car sounds so much better.

Drove about 2000 miles over 3 days and got about 21 mpg with the ls3.

WICKEDSS · 01-18-2010, 10:11 AM

11MPG..... 98% in town driving, i live 2 miles from work so 4 miles per day a tank will last 2-4 weeks depending on how heavy my foot is......I dont drive the car any where else to many crazy drivers. But only feeling up once a month is wicked i have had it for 7 months and it only has 4100 miles on it

about 16-18 here with 700 miles so far, remember under 1,500 miles your car is still in break-in period so expect increased fuel and oil consumption. Once you're up over 2,000 you'll see better mileage and more consistency.

My gas mileage has actually gotten a little bit worse with the mileage. I use to averge around 21.2 and now that I just passed 10,000 I am at 20.2.

Scott@Bjorn3D · 01-31-2010, 05:30 AM

Well I spin them every chance I get and I get 260 miles per tank before I decide to fill up. Computer always shows I could get like 290 to 300. Computer also shows me getting 15.9 MPG doing that all the time. Drove one tank not having any fun and got 19 and like 320 miles out of her before fillup.

The gas mileage we get on these SS camaros is light years ahead of the 60's-70's. I mean a car with this much horsepower getting mid to upper teens to low twenties is awesome.

3400 miles now ,around town 16-18 mpg (cops are bad in collage town , or it could be more like 10 mpg

) . 950 mile round trip to wake forrest , north carolina and got 23.7 mpg at 80- 85 mph . not bad at all . at the track looks more like 5-6 mpg ... $40 k ,car $40 ,tank of gas

permigrin , priceless

I am averaging 16.4 MPG with M6 93 oct and 90%+ city driving. I did make myself drive conservative doing 1,3,5 shifts and into 6th over 55mph, taking off with traffic and coasting up to lights when I could and bumped up to 17.2. Would have been better but I still had to get into it a couple times on both tanks. I imagine that if I was good 100% I would have been over 18. FYI- I was one of those prius (which could do 105 before it got squirrelly BTW) driving dorks before my 2ss. dropping from over 40mpg to 16 stings, but every time I red line her through the first 4 gears I get over it- quickly!

you should,t care about gas mileage when buying an SS, buy a V6 if you want mileage.

The mods that add air will also use more fuel.. the computer reads the additional air flow and says hey I can add more Gas now.. and there goes the Mileage...
