I always tell them GM says it can get 29 but the way I drive it I've never even come close.

Most people are asking the same thing. When they ask me if it's the V8, I tell them to look at my decals.

The other day I was driving to work and a guy in Prius pulled up next to me. After a couple seconds, he yelled, "Hey, its because of people like you I have to drive a Prius." I said "oh, I thought that was your way of telling everyone youre gay." Then I laughed and drove off.

Then last night when I went through Whataburger drive thru, the guy asked me, "does that have a full exhaust?" I dont think an exhaust system is going make the car shake. Lol!

you should have told him he had it backwards. it's because people like him drive prius's that people like us can drive camaro's. should have thanked him for taking one for the team.

There are so many misconceptions out there about "being green" that it isn't even worth my breath on people when they tell me I'm hurting the environment with my Camaro. Granted, I'm not saving it in any huge matters either but I do more than others.

yup, that's just it.. I do more in my personal life to help the environment than my car does to damage it..

There is nothing you can tell those types of people that will change their mind about the environment. I dont even waste my time with them. America is the only country that seems to care so much about the environment. It blows my mind how much taxpayer money is wasted on it. Good to know you have so much DIY stuff must save you a ton of money!

My camaro is my economy car

Truck gets 11 mpg (run E85), camaro gets 15-16

I have been asked the ole 350 question more than I care to count. The worst was when I was asked if it had a 4 bolt main. Too many people think that a small block with a 4 bolt main has waaaaaay more power than a standard 2 bolt. I tried to explain how GM is using LS engines now, didn't do a damn bit of good though. The poor fella just grinned through his front tooth and walked off.
