Economy car??

On a recent trip to my dealer, about 23 miles,before I left I
reset the avg mileage.
by the time I got there it showed 29 mpg no bs it went as high as 31
it was at a steady 55/60 mph no stops.
I showed the salesman the reading he was surprised
My avg daily is about 23 stop and go
It definately is economy compared to my Yukon
It is a 2SS manual with 2300 miles

Reset while you are on the highway and get the true Highway MPG.

My current daily driver get's me around 12mpg in town, and about 15mpg on the highway. It will be nice to get better fuel economy when traveling in the Camaro.

Mine didn't do that well. I was getting about 22, but my averaged speed of 75 didn't help (there were emptied hwy stretches I was getting it up to 90-100).
