I should really stop gunning it - well then again, I hear that a new car does get worse mpg, but it increases as the engine breaks in. Currently averaging 17.8. Yes, I know.

I have heard people say Sports Mode is worse and better than the standard Drive mode...I just don't know what to believe anymore.
My gut tells me Sport mode HAS to use more gas. |

whether I use "D" or "S/M" modes, if I use the cruise and at 65, I too get those numbers. BUT If I bump it up to 70 or 75, which is nornal for me and where I am at, its more like 24 mpg........my baby just doesn't want to go that slow!!!

I'm getting 21 in my SS on average. I'd do better if I didn't like the sound it makes under throttle with the new CAI intake. I don't do a lot of city driving though.

Bunch of sissies with your computers and automatics. Real men drive Stick
 HAH Just kidding. I think the D mode in the Camaro automatics is configured to shift a lot sooner than necessary for better fuel economy. It also hangs on to a gear for a while before dropping to a lower gear (when slowing down) that one might do while "tap shifting". |
