My mileage has gone from 12 ... sometimes 13 litres for every 100 KM's to 10.3 litres for every 100 KM's.

My driving habits have not change they are exact. Anyone experience a change like this ?

My first oil change was at 1,200 miles. There was no difference in my gas mileage after the oil change.

Did u notice a change in the car at all ?

No change at all. Changed the oil and drove it. I noticed no difference in anything, it drove exactly as it did before the oil change.

Mechanic who serviced your car released the parking brake! LOL, JK.

I think I picked up 1 mpg after the change at 3,000.

I saw a big performance gain but didn't notice any fuel mileage gain.

i don't have a 2010 ss, but my old girl has the ls1 2002 t/a and when she picked up km's the mileage per/ or lt/100 has always improved i guess it's a common thing on gm engines. on a recent road trip at 110/120 km/hr, it did 9.3lt/100!! i run super always and mobil1 since day one. 6 speed car. but the usual average i have is 10 to 11lt/100 lots of traffic and stop and go.and i find it exceptional.

and your new camaro is a little heavier... but still gm ls-series engine are excellent on gas. i tip my hat to the gm engineers . compared to the lt1 this was a gas sipper in my previous 97 t/a.
