Oh yea, you are absolutely right. The first year and a half or so with the camaro is a complete honeymoon. It continues to be but I feel like the relationship has matured in a way since I'm not melting tires quite as often. Most of all, I am glad to hear you are enjoying your Camaro.

still trying to join the 20+ club. 1 - 4 seems to help a bunch so been trying that more lately. I always end of giving in to the temptation and dragging the mpg down to 15ish

Can a V6 play? I regularly get 32-34 on the way to my dads house. its about a 30-45 minute drive, some stop and go, then highway.

hightower · 04-28-2012, 02:02 AM

In all honesty, like 75% of my miles are interstate to and from school. And thats a 230 mile trip each way. So I'm sure I've gotten close to or at 30mpg at one point in time....

ZWA SS · 04-28-2012, 04:01 AM

I've gotten right at 28mpg on the highway. I also had a 30-40 mph tail wind pushing me while doing 80mph. I bet if I backed off I would have achieved 30mpg.
Average is probably 19-21 normally.

Grimlock · 04-28-2012, 04:14 AM

Yeah if I did 99% highway driving. Unfortunately, I do 99.9999999999% city driving.

My daily driver is a V-6 Ford Explorer...I'm lucky if I get 12-13 city, 17-18 hwy!!....lol

I never really understood how people get such bad mileage. Ok I mean I get how... But I would rather behave and Save gas. 60-65 is the MPG sweet spot, so I try to keep it in there. I know it's tempting guys!

That is really good mileage! My husband's V6 Accord that he uses for daily commuting only gets between 18 - 20 mpg.

heRS · 04-29-2012, 12:48 AM

Last year I was getting 23 mpg. Just checked my dic today. I'm averaging a speed of 40 and getting 24 mpg. I drive about 50 miles a day for my commute, hiway for 20 miles, a few stoplights. When I get out on the freeway and run through a tank I get over 30 mpg easy. Getting ready to do a round-state trip next weekend. I'll reset everything once I hit the freeway and see what I can do.
