How can some SS' get 15mpg and others get 24mph. This doesn't make sense!

Driving style. Although I will say this. I reset the MPG calculator and tried to be as light footed as possible while driving to and from work. With my 2011 2SS, got 15.3 MPG at best, about the same as when I first got my car used in 2013 and was initially more careful with it. After a week of that, went back to slamming on the throttle and now I get 14.7 MPG. Maybe I need a tune or the previous owner turned off the cylinder deactivation.

No, it does. As was said, driving style is part of it. Also how much the car is driven. Mine, for example is a daily driver/only driver. I also don't do a lot of highway commuting. On the positive side, my commute is typically off of rush hour, so that helps. But I still get caught in a lot of stop and go, with long lights. So I get a little over 16 overall. My car is stock other than CAI. Also, I don't lay into that much, for the most part just normal sane driving.

Those that only drive car on weekends or have more highway commuting may experience higher avg mpg. They don't deal with as much stop and go and heavy traffic etc.

Because the SS doesn't get 24 mpg unless your driving at 60 mph, Straight
and level, with cruise control set and a good tailwind. Exaggerations rule
here on camaro5 re mpg. Normal interstate driving 21-22 MAX !

Thought of this thread the other day when I got in my car.. and actually paged and looked.

19.8.

Not bad - I would have expected worse.

I never had a Camaro with a manual but did have a Viper. With the Viper I could leave it in 3rd gear in traffic. Also if I was just cruising I learned how to upshift without using the clutch.
