You will be surprised when the SS comes out how good it gets. The vette pulls off 32 mpg cruising at 70 mph on the highway. This camaro SS should get around 28-30. If the V6 gets 32-33 then I don't really see the benefit.
Also with oil now about to sneak under $60 a barrel you will see $2 gallon gas in the next few months. The Dollar is so strong right now with the turmoil in the world that this isn't going to change overnight either since oil is traded in the USD.
93 octane is already at $2.40 here where I am and regular is about $2.30. So saving 10 cents and getting 2 mpg more highway just isn't enough that it would really add up. If you don't think you can afford the SS just because of gas costs make sure you do your math first and you will see it isn't going to be that much difference.
Now if you can't stay off of the SS's happy pedal then yea you won't be able to afford 5 mpg lol
