I see noone has used Fuelly. I am the first 2010 V6 Camaro to register for it. I have been using it for about 18 months with my 95 camaro, it keeps pretty cool stats pertaining to your gas mileage and kind of incorporates a little social networking too so you can see what other similar vehicles are getting in gas mileage.

Fuelly? I'm about to google it, but a link here would be nice, as well as more info!

I'm curious about Fuelly, too.

I never get better than 16mpg commuting and city driving around L.A.
Driving like a grandma nets me about 16.4mpg

Up to 850 miles now and averaged 26.5 on the last tank.

How many miles do you have on it?
Drive it hard, i was getting worse then that shifting at about 2200rpm and i said f it. Started driving her really hard and my gas milage got alot better.
One question though, does your car feel quick or slow? And did you do the easy break in or hard break in?

Googled it. It's just a website with a program created to track your fuel mileage. By the looks of it, you sign up and start plugging in numbers related to your fill ups, ie; miles on tank, gallons to full, price per gallon. It then averages it out for you and plugs it into several different charts. It's kinda neat, but I don't know if I want to go through the hassle, lol. I'd end up forgetting.

If you're watching the instant MPG readout, that will drop to single digits even in a 4 cylinder economy car when you lay on the throttle a bit. Almost any vehicle will range between single digits and >100MPG while you watch the instant display.

I have installed the Airaid CAI and have seen my MPG jump from the 22-23 range to 24-25 range after a handful of fill ups. Running 87 gas. Going to get about 10 tanks of gas down then go with my next mod...exhaust and then maybe the headers and track the MPG results at each step.

I found it too and signed up. I"m the same way as you, though...I'll probably forget to update it too. I keep receipts, so the amount of gas will be available, but if I don't remember to check the mileage, what good is it?

Hey! Do you have an instant MPG readout - I was trying to find it but only have the Average MPG readout. I'll have to check the manual.

I don't even have a Camaro. I hang out here hoping some cool will rub off on me.

I use a ScanGauge II for instant and average MPG (and other stuff) on my vehicles. I'd be surprised if the Camaro doesn't do instant MPG.

Average MPG can also show single digits for the first few miles after it's reset.

sorry, the link is fuelly.com I didn't know if the forum rules considered it spamming (I am in no way affiliated with fuelly)

If you are too lazy to keep the receipts you can go to m.fuelly.com from your cell phone and update the info right at the pump...

Bert · 01-22-2010, 08:10 AM

camaro does not have instant MPG read-out, but you can get the same info by resetting the average and then reading it right away
