Buying a Camaro for gas mileage is like dating a Playboy bunny for her intelligence.

My DIC usually falls to the same number on my commute - 24.5. If I reset on the highway and drive over 100 mile the DIC will show just over 31 @ 55 mph.

My first two full tanks were 21 mpg and 24 mpg averages. The first tank was mainly in town and back road commutes and yes a few acceleration tests. The next tank full was a road trip up to Canada and was mostly 75 mph interstate and then 55 mph highway with lots of little towns where you have to drop down to 30 mph. The computer thingy which I have yet to reset says 21.8 mpg.

I get around 18MPG city, and that is getting on it as much as I can.
Highway has been around 25MPG.
I tried a tank to get as good as I could in the city, easy takeoffs, shift into 6th just above 40MPH, and then shifting into neutral on every downhill I could. I was able to hold 23MPG. I will never do it again as it wasn't much fun.

I average right around 17mpg in town, and about 24mpg on the highway with my A6.

My SS is a daily driver and I drive about 40 minutes each way to and from work. It's stop and go traffic right from my freeway entrance to work. I get 14-15mpg. Probably not the best daily driver LOL.

It's a fat-ass cow. ~3800lbs. Makes me sad to think that my weight causes my car to weigh over 2 tons... :(

Thinking of trading in your V6 for a V8?
