Real World Gas Mileage? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Mr. Stacy · 01-29-2016, 07:12 PM

Just wondering what people are getting.

I do about half and half city-highway (and a lot of traffic sometimes).

My V6 Gets a little better than 20 MPG. (Valves are almost certainly gummed up on this at almost 50K without an oil catch).

What are you guys and gals averaging on your V6's and V8's?

DuRoC · 01-29-2016, 07:17 PM

22 on mine with a mix of city and higway. LFX V6.

tomlink · 01-29-2016, 07:17 PM

22.6 pretty much since day one. V6.

Shawno72 · 01-29-2016, 07:23 PM

V6 with an average of 20

hunter1660 · 01-29-2016, 07:26 PM

22 mpg with headers,intake and afm tuned out. I lost .7 mpg with the tune. What a trade out!

PalmerGA · 01-29-2016, 07:33 PM

Last 400+ miles... 18.8mpg. Mixed driving.

The Dutchman · 01-29-2016, 07:35 PM

I have no frigging idea. I drive and when I need gas I get it. Am I missing something to worry about?

Matt8892 · 01-29-2016, 07:50 PM

13....
SS
For the record, I thought I was driving civilized. But my understanding is, the lower the number, the more happy you are? So I'm doing it right....... Right?.... ... Right guys?

two_wheel_mayhem · 01-29-2016, 07:56 PM

When I had my V6 car it averaged 19/20 mpg too.

ghosted · 01-29-2016, 07:56 PM

2015 v6, I do mostly highway miles. On long trips when utilizing cruise control, I get around 26-27 mpg, but in the city or on short trips, I'll get around 18 mpg with my driving style.

patternpilot · 01-29-2016, 08:02 PM

The average on the DIC currently displays 9 mpg. After the upgrades I checked the highway mileage once and got 24. The engine is much more efficient at speed. Don't keep track of it anymore other than what is displayed.

Moto-Mojo · 01-29-2016, 08:02 PM

Traded in that lowly V6 guzzler (LOL) and put my foot all the way in an SS. Now I get 15-16 MPG but the FPM went way up! (fun per mile)

idealer · 01-29-2016, 08:03 PM

16 in the city. Very happy driver
