When I am in traffic I see ~16. But when traffic is light and I have to stop at a few signals I can get 'er down to 8.
Makes me proud.

Are you checking mileage on your car or calculating old way?

Can you not use highway 80? Or is Saudi a no go?

The idea of driving from the pump 50 miles and back can be done only at midnight and a specific road which full of bumps.

Checking it on the car, average fuel consumption and also calculated how many miles a full tank will get me.

So reset my 'Average Fuel Economy' and drove it while monitoring it. After a short drive i was getting 14.4 l/100km then stopped at traffic idle for around 7 minutes it got all the way up to 25 l/100km.
So i guess my issue is idling and city drive. Question: is there a way to improve idling fuel consumption by HPtuners? More or less timing?

I do have to say though, and I read it on this forum, if you are worried about fuel mileage, don't buy a Camaro SS. Get the 6 banger and you will be alright! lol..

Yeah, the 6.2L will push ~0.5 Gal/Hour at idle. That's just physics. So much air = so much fuel. I'm sure if Chevy could extract any more efficiency out of it they would have.

Yes. I am not the only one who has done the math and compared them to real world results.

Not doubting you. Just hadn’t ever taken that measurement into consideration.

A friend reminded me of an important fact when I first bought mine....
"Ya didn't buy it for good gas mileage."
