Unfortunatly that is incorrect, because you are not traveling so you are getting the same as your car when it is turned off 0 MPG.

06blownSS · 04-08-2011, 01:14 PM

I get consistently 13mpg....can't seem to increase that number

RedoutCamaro · 04-08-2011, 02:16 PM

I get about 19 on the freeway, and about 15 in the city, and about 9 when I am on the gas. Love it all the same. It is only $3.90 for premium here, 9 miles for 3.90 is worth it.

I wouldn't think the 55 mph thing would have a huge impact.

Look at the front of the Camaro, it's built like a brick shithouse as fate as aerodynamics, speed takes more off the MPGs than you can imagine. I have never had a car where mpgs drop off as much as this one when speed increases.

I went on a 460 mile trip this past weekend & I averaged 28mpg. I was running between 65-75mph

Regio_42 · 04-08-2011, 03:38 PM

Well like many have said it depends on the driving and where you live, because i live in the city and man when theres traffic (everyday) it step and brake so my mpg goes up and down im currently on 15 city and 21 highway !

If you are THAT concerned with gas mileage.... then hypermile. I remember reading an article about these nut jobs that drive around with the single goal of getting the best gas mileage. One of the tricks was to put the car in neutral whenever possible. Especially on declining hills. No A/C helps too. You can also get some cardboard and extend the tail of the car so its more of a teardrop shape.......

I got Flowmaster American Thunder exhausts, and I can NOT help it, I gotta 'blast off at red lights and I gotta rev, just to hear and feel THAT SOUND! NOT suggested for trying to improve mpg...Oh well, if we gonna dance, we gots ta pay the fiddler.....

goval · 04-08-2011, 04:01 PM

I got the FlowMasters installed last week and I ran one whole tank Loud and proud....Now Im trying to get my mileage up. Im up to 24 mpg. Instead of 21.2 or so on average. I drive hills 70% of the way while the other 30% is highway in bumper to bumper...

TooCool5 · 04-08-2011, 06:39 PM

Its important to re-set the MPG readout occasionally. It gets flaky and stuck in low numbers.
Re-set my LS @ 65 mph with cruise on and got 30.8 the other day. After some stop and go and return home on the highway it reads 26.6 combined MPG.
Before re-setting it was stuck on 21.3

If you worry about great gas mileage, you bought the wrong car. Have fun with your baby and enjoy driving the coolest car ever....
