The important thing is that you get a Camaro, Nothing else matters.
The gas price issue will certainly fuel (no pun intended) V6 Camaro buyers who otherwise might have got a V8. (if it was 1986) The success of the V6 is important, I was suprised and pleased to see coverage of the Camaro billed as a fun efficient car. Thats how it needs to be seen, to succeed.
