I've owned a RS camaro that was totaled when a lady turned in front of me, then a SS camaro I traded in for a ZL1.

I personally thought the jump from the V6-V8 was a huge difference. Of course the SS has more torque and you can feel it, and it sounds amazing. Not to mention its a lot faster.

I've driven the Green Flash all over and when I cruise at 75 MPH on the interstates I get a consistent 22-23 MPG running Sunoco 93. With the LFX I would get about 23 on Regular and up to 25 on 92.

Of course around town I only get around 15 or so. Still, for a 425 HP engine, I'll take it!!

Love my Green Flash!!
I find that hard to believe unless you are barley tapping the pedal, and with a manual that's hard lol. Below are my mpg's from my ss and zl1.

2012 SS got 12.3 mpg

2015 ZL1 gets 9.8 mpg

Its all about how many smiles you get per gallon, not how many miles. The world muscle car and mpg should not be in the same anything
