SS as a Daily Driver??? - Page 16 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

But he's not talking about highway driving. Its essentially 'light' mixed driving. So a bit above what normal highway and city numbers would average out to. But add in lead foot factor and fuel economy goes out the window.

Oh. My bad.

the SS camaro is a beast it should be handled with caution but it must be driven daily or else it will run havoc when it finally does.

Jeffro19 · 01-30-2009, 01:26 PM

Prob just drive mine on the weekends and drive my s10 to work. Then unleash it on the weekends!

Rear wheel drive Camaro SS is not a good winter car here in Ct. We havn't seen the ground in several weeks (snow covered). I'm keeping my '06 Impala as a daily driver.

Hooy · 01-30-2009, 01:29 PM

Daily driver for me! It'll be my only car, lol. I'll need to figure something out for heavy rain days and such.... :(

Big_Country · 01-30-2009, 03:38 PM

Of course. Right now my 12 MPG Suburban is my daily driver. The 20+ MPG will be a welcome change.

Cyberfan · 01-30-2009, 11:40 PM

YES! It will replace 02 Trans Am which is my daily driver now. Corvette is my weekender.

You spend too much time in a car and on a mattress not to buy what feels good.

ArcAngel · 01-31-2009, 12:33 AM

so we are saying in a combined cycle (suburban) we are looking 18-20 approx so do we expect the v6 to be 20-22??

mutant chicken · 01-31-2009, 12:38 AM

It get much better milage than my 04 Ram, but I won't be leaving it in an unguarded lot all day... so it will be the weekend car.

If your priority in a car is gas mileage then get a prius, the camaro is not for you

Priority? No. Nice to have? Of course. I'd rather pay $40 a week for gas than $45, wouldn't you?

*TAG UR IT* · 01-31-2009, 02:19 AM

Every day. I'll drive it every day. And I'll LOVE IT!

Camaroinmo · 01-31-2009, 09:24 AM

I will wash it and seal it more than I drive it. DD will be my Frontier or motorcycle.
