27 "for sure" should be the mpg for the V6 on the highway. That is what GM is saying,

^ I remember them going for 19/27, which makes sense looking at CTS's mpg, but it looks like it will be more around 18/27. We will see.....

The new testing numbers are too conservative. They lowered just about everything. Some of the new MPG numbers are just wrong (on the govts site).

i have no doubts that if driven right and all variables kept in check, the V6 camaro could get 19/27 or 18/26

Driving with a light foot, I can get 17mpg city with my LT1 V8 automatic. Hope the V6 can do better than 1 more mpg than that.

If you drive in dense city conditions and flog it constantly, the extra weight will make a significant difference. If you drive in more normal conditions and do some minor anticipative driving (not accelerating all the way up to the red light, not braking just because of a curve, etc) then a few hundred pounds won't make much difference.

That site is run by the federal EPA. CAFE is from the State Of California. Different jerks.
