Why is the 2LS rated at 30 MPG and the other V6s rated at 29??? What's the difference?

Thanks

The Stig · 11-17-2011, 09:35 PM

automatic transmission?

rydahog · 11-17-2011, 09:35 PM

2LS??

DietCoke · 11-17-2011, 09:36 PM

Rear end gearing is extra tall to get more mpg. That is the only reason.

2LS is a new trim model for 2012. I believe the 2LS is the only V6 car rated at 30 MPG.

only the auto LS gets 30 in the late 2011's and 2012s.... they re-geared it so it gets 30mpg.... mostly to say it gets 30mpg (and the same as the mustang).... lose a little performance though

YOUNGnRECKLESS · 11-18-2011, 01:09 AM

different gears i think

Solocus · 11-18-2011, 07:57 AM

2.92 rear axle ratio in the 2LS

Trailnut · 11-18-2011, 08:41 AM

2.92, that's a non limited slip i bet. What gears are they installing in the LTs?

Thanks and that's a great looking Camaro you have there

When I had my 2010 1LT/RS, I was regularly getting 30+ mpg's.

Camaro_Lover4 · 11-18-2011, 09:39 AM

my 2LS rated 30+ MPG.. I average 28 mpg right now..

Gloisgreat · 11-18-2011, 07:37 PM

How long before I start seeing that type of mileage on my 2012 2LT (automatic)? I just hit 1,000 miles a few days ago and am currently sitting at about 19.8mpg.

Kurushio · 11-18-2011, 08:33 PM

Im getting about 24 but i think part of it is that maybe the gas companies have already switched to a winter blend. Either that or when it gets cold the engine just doesnt run as well. I was getting 25 before it got cold and my tires are even slightly over inflated at about 37-38 PSI after they warm up.

Cars get better mileage in heat then cold weather. The hotter it is, the less fuel your engine will use.
