Not an expert, but I believe a CAI will increase both HP and gas mileage. Not sure about other mods, which is the main reason why I have stuck with cosmetic mods for now.

Injen and MRT 2.0 have improved mine slightly. Maybe 1 - 2 MPG.

True - walking is the BEST gas mileage that there is! I agree though, they would have to pay me to drive a Prius.

Best mod is keep your tires pumped up to max psi & keep the injectors clean with www.toptiergas.com.

Y'all know anything thats make the engine more efficient, more horse power, better gas millage. With gas going up, maybe we could see what kind of millage we can get.
Cold air Kit
Headers
Cat back exhaust
better tire pressures
lighter foot

All I have done should get better mpg but I don't think it has. 18+ average in city stop and go out here and 27-28 on freeway but at 75 and not flat road conditions either .

lol, you know, "Gas Mileage" is just an excuse I use when I tell people i'm modding again. I say "Yeah, it improves gas mileage!". But what I really want is sound, power, and looks lol, you bought a Camaro... also, proper driving techniques will help gas mileage more than mods =D

When my Camaro comes back out in April and gas is still on the rise (one of the reasons I got a V6 in the first place - gas getting back over 3 or 4 bucks a gallon) I will head into work setting the cruise at 65 mph for my 25 mile stretch on the highway. My test this past summer showed a best of 33.3 MPG. There is not many people on the road at 4:30 AM. Then I can drive with some spirit on the way home to enjoy my Camaro.
