Hey Turab,

Where did you get these numbers? They seem wayyyy to high, and way too disproportionate from the American numbers. Maybe 31mpg highway, but not 41...

Although, I wouldn't complain

Lapdogherc · 04-25-2009, 02:44 PM

You should get way better mileage on the highway with manual trans if you don't drive with a lead foot.

Bourgui · 04-25-2009, 03:43 PM

I don't know about "much better". 31mpg would be pretty good for a 304Hp V6 to start with. But 41mpg? That's getting close to a Prius!!!

Lapdogherc · 04-25-2009, 03:59 PM

my son's cobault is rated at 36mpg highway and I have no problem getting 42 on the interstate

Lapdogherc · 04-25-2009, 04:00 PM

It has a 5 speed manual transmission.

turab16 · 04-25-2009, 04:43 PM

I am a slaesperson at cmp autos in calgary. numbers are straight off a sticker... auto trans is better than human response and hence better gas mileage

Bourgui · 04-25-2009, 05:33 PM

Wow, I am just shocked that it would be so good. In a good way that is

Thanks for the heads up then!

So then they are exaggerated then. No one gets the mileage Transport Canada comes up with.

The manual trans runs 175rpm higher at 70mph. The manual could be able to get better city mileage, but the auto will do a little better on the highway.

V6 manual at 70mph: 2025rpm
V6 auto at 70mph: 1800rpm

I don't think either will get 41mpg anywhere...

That Cobalt is 36 mpg highway in the U.S. Here in Canada, the Cobalt XFE gets 52 MPG highway as a comparison. Toyota Corolla, only 50 MPG.

OUR72GTO · 04-25-2009, 08:49 PM

For our American cousins.....The Canadian gallon is 1/5 larger than USA .

Assuming "mile" is the same, that 41mpg comes out to 34 miles per US gallon. That's more believable.

garfin · 04-26-2009, 10:23 AM

Transport Canada's rating on the V6 Camaro is 6.8L/100 KM.
Translated, this equals 41.54 miles per imperial gallon, which, as has already been stated, is 20% larger than the U.S. gallon.
U.S. gallon equivalent = 34.59 mpg.

Best regardSS,

Elie

*DGthe3* · 04-26-2009, 04:16 PM

And our rating system was more optimistic than the old US system. For reference, the Prius is rated at 71 mpg city, 67 highway.

turab16 · 04-26-2009, 04:22 PM

I know that the EPA here is not so realistic but numbers are there for comparison's sake with the othe manufacture for example we have the 2.4L vibe gt with 5 spd manual that is rated by epa 29 mpg in city and 39 mpg on the highway!

Compare apples to apples .... epa rating on others vs camaro....

you get the picture and yes the vehicle is sold order but should be picked up either monday or tuesday.... cheers!

turab16 · 04-26-2009, 04:26 PM

lastly, being a stick shift fan i hate to admit that the new auto trannies are more feul efficient and faster in 0-60mph times

OUR72GTO · 04-27-2009, 11:14 AM

THREE things are apple to apple.....

1 RPM = 1 RPM
1/4 MILE = 1/4 MILE
400hp = 400hp
