Maybe due to my ignorance but I was expecting better mileage for the V6. My Grand Prix has a supercharged 3.8L and I get 10.9L /100 kms with mostly (80-85%) city driving. I would have thought a N/A V6 would do better than my car.

Hi Canadian GP, my average speed is about 30 km/hr. There are about 12 intersections with lights and if I catch one light, I get almost all of them. The trip takes about 10 minutes so I actually think the Camaro is pretty good considering that I never really reach a cruising speed for all that long before I have to stop and accelerate again. The top speed of the route is only 60 km/hr.
