Trying to decide, so I've got a question about Active Fuel Management - Page 4 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Check the G8 boards, It is confirmed to be worth about 3mpg.

I agree with SemperFi's point that with AFM on the highway (mostly), you'll see more gains than GM tells us we will. I'm not saying crazy-high 50mpg or anything like that. But there is a real, and good chance than an automatic SS Camaro would have reported better mpg than the manual SS on that trip of yours, TAG.

bullshit!

Quite possibly on a LONG, LONG road trip. But, for everyday driving, I'm thinking about the same if not an edge going to the LS3.
