I know the V6 is supposed to get an alleged 27 highway MPG, but what about the SS?

franknbeans · 03-12-2009, 10:22 PM

22 i think

heck my NITRO only gets 20

my2010camaross · 03-12-2009, 10:25 PM

well if you compare it to the ls3 on the corvette, it would be around 26, however the weight is different between the two, so if I had to guess it would be right around 23-24 highway with the stick.

I agree to that

426 hpV8 w/6spd manual -15 city 22 highway is what the gm salesman video states.0-60 in 4.7 seconds

I would think 27 mpg can be squeezed out of the manual

I think you'll be at or slightly above the 23mpg rating in the SS.

"Alleged 27 highway mpg in the v6"??

You must not have seen this:

Ok maybe 27 is a bit much to get consistently, but 25 easily. 27 is not impossible. I've seen T56 LS1 4th gens get almost 30 and personally have gotten 30 in a LS2 C6 on a road trip.

Without cylinder deactivation, I give the LS3 25 MPG respectively, heck the SRT8 can get 24MPG, altought I never see it, hwy I get 23.5 that the highest I been in awile
