How much are the 22's affecting the gas mileage on both of our Camaros... I wonder if that makes a big difference??

You can tune it out, which voids your powertrain warranty.
Or, you can get a Range Device, which does not.

Many people don't check their oil levels regularly and these engines with five quart sumps were losing more than one quart per 1000 miles with a maintenance Minder calling for oil changes at 8000 miles. Oops, no oil.
Wow I thought Honda had perfect engineers.

I've totally forgotten what AFM feels like, thanks to the Range device. And my warranty is still fully intact.

Gonna just roll my eyes at that comment.

Honda has great engineers, doesn't mean every design is perfect.

One Honda failure for every 10 GM failures, I think Honda is still ok.

I get 52mpg because the camaro stays home and the prius gets used. Nothing like driving a prius to make you miss your camaro even more.

"Manual" mode or "Sport" mode? It's only Manual mode if you use the paddles. Otherwise, shifting into M but letting the car shift itself (which is what I do 95% of the time) is considered Sport mode - note the "S" to the left of the Odometer reading. Sport mode is definitely more fun than Drive mode!

Flat makes a big difference. And it seems these V8s do better when cruising above 2K on the RPMs. Mine does anyway.
