Average mileage (Output)

I',ve driven my 2012 V-6 Camaro just over 4,000 and my average mileage

has not changed. Even on my 750 mile round trip with freeway driving, its

stay at 20.6MPG. I'm thinking something may be wrong with the computer

but everything else seems to be in order. What has others experience

with there V-6's. Thanks Michael in Virginia

I have an LS (v6), and im getting about 16mpg. I drive very spirited.

But to reset your mpg calculator hold in the button at the end of the knob, and it will reset it.

I managed 23MPG on the last tank, about 50/50 city and highway. A6 LLT. I reset my trip and MPG every tank as I'm still learning about the car and where she's happiest. I've been experimenting with Top Tier vs non Top Tier gas, driving routes, etc.

I have over 40,000 miles and I am averaging 24 MPG. This includes over 100 passes at the 1/4 mile track. Along with some GREAT spirited driving. Now I do have to admit I drive 25 miles in the morning on the way to work with the cruise set at 70 MPH (most of the time) and I have seen as much as 33 MPG.

you need to re-set the MPG readout occasionally.
I avg 24 MPG combined driving. 31-34 MPG all highway (resetting while at highway speed).

With my V6 auto I get north of 28 on a trip and around 20-21 around town. Of course here in Florida there are no real hills.

It's mostly flat around here too, I left the mountains when I left Montana. I will have to see if I can reset the MPG and nothing else. Well I think I do since at each fill up I reset the mileage when I fill up.

You talking about reseting the mileage, I do when I fill up but you must be talking about something else or are you?

I do that at each fill up and I'm sure it's got to change just because of the way I drive some times. I've not got my cold air on yet or changed the exhaust either YET but it's all coming. I spent too much on that crazy RED sport bar.

You reset the mileage count is what everyone is talking about. That works fine, and that is not what I'm talking about. When I go through to see my read out or what the hell you want to call them I've just noticed that has not changed since day one 20.6 my air pressure changes and all the other readings this car has on it. opps soory so long again
