Let's start a thread exclusively for V6 gas mileage (most other listings are V8).
Just report auto or manual and % city/highway driving.

Be happy to when I get my car!

I am averaging 21mpg with mostly highway driving and some city. I have had the air on so I dont know if that makes a difference. I have to say its slightly dissapointing but I have been told it takes time to settle and break the car in so who knows.

Other than that the car is fantastic

So what's up with this thread? I'm interested in Mileage. I just got my car last week and I'm trying to figure out what my average should be. So far not as good as expected but much better than my 77

That's pretty close to what Motortrend reported when they had a V6M6 Camaro. They said 20.9mpg average.

My Stripe is Silver and I had the windows tinted at 35% - I think it looks pretty stealthy.

Thats pretty good. Especially for the break in period. Not bad at all.

Sorry but there is no way 32 MPG can be accurate unless you were doing neutral down big mountains.
