First road trip last weekend. On a 450+ mile run, I managed to get 23.3 and that was going about 5 mph over the speed limit... WITH the Range AFM Disabler (see my review in the Vendor's V8 bolt-ons forum (http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showpo...&postcount=336). 50/50 Interstate and State Highways (with several small towns). I'm pleased.

14/22.5 is what I'm seeing. Highway would be better but that is at 75mph as opposed to 65.
That's about what I get. And my other car is a Prius, for days when I feel cheap. :-)

I'm pleased.

I just drove round trip from New York to St. Louis...roughly 2000 miles and averaged 22.5 mpg. I'm happy with that considering I have a V-8 with approximately 470 horses...

I get about 55mpg in my ZL1. Took out that ozone killing LSA and put in one of them dieselectric hybrid things. Cuz i bought a camaro for gas mileage.

I think asking how much MPG a sporty car gets is like askin how much HP a hybrid has. Who cares?

Hello Nate.

Sorry for my confusion but were you referring to the "model" or "color" in regards to the best MPG for the 2013 Camaro vehicle? I can be of assistance potentially on this question.
