Hey well heres my dilema, i REALLY want a camaro, i mean like alot lol. But this car will be my Daily driver and i need fair MPG. I drive about 2 hours to work every morning, the roads are empty as i leave at 4am, coming home is the highway. Say i drive roughly 5-7 miles per day, taking it easy on the gas, what kind of MPG could i expect? Im looking at a 98 or 00' ss, how much do you spend a week on gas? What could i do to increase MPG? Reduce weight? Any thoughts? I know Fast cars and MPG dont go hand in hand, but i still have my hopes that i can work something out lol

edit: your probably saying, why not get a civic if your looking for MPG? Cuz i want a nice fast car for weekends and sunday drives and such.

Should be around 25-27MPG (stock car), correct me if I'm wrong.

When i acctuely am worried about mpg on my car ive gotten close to 29 mpg highway. And around 19 city (city number may be a little off cause i barely ever do stop and go its mostly highway) this is a 6 speed 2001 ws6. A4 will get a little less

When I'm rarely trying to save gas I get about 28mpg on the highway. But usually whenever I take out the Camaro it's spirited driving and I get about 230-240 miles to the tank. I guess that's not bad for racing and usually a 10lb bottle worth of nitrous in there too

I have just intake and exhaust powerwise and get 21/3X highway.

if I am going a bit more mph on the highway it'll drop, same with top off on highway. around 28ish is my best guess for 75 with no roof would be 28ish?

I do keep my aligment on track and tire pressure in check. I have a 6spd as well stock gears.

I get 25 about 1/2 highway, 1/2 city and drive it hard but don't beat the **** out of it. No whole shots or redlines. Just brisk acceleration and I'll cruise in drive instead of overdrive in that 45 MPH range.

Milage will greatly depend on what part of the country.

Yup those are my numbers right there too. I can get at least 24mpg highway and 14-15 with all the stop and go crap! It might be me leaving it in 1st gear when I am cruising 20 through town.

I DD mine. I get like 250 to 14 gallons. Most is some what city driving because of the time i have to travel.

strictly highway ive gotten up to 31MPG...people dont believe me, that was when i still had the 2.73's in my car...just doing 65mph with the windows up and no A/C. Usually tho it averages around 27 or 28 on the highway..around town driving easy i can get 20-23mpg. I'm sure now that i have 3.42's my gas mileage on the highway will drop pretty good. But we'll see.

i drive mostly in town but the worst ive had is 12 mpg and the best ive had is around 30mpg on a road trip my tank usually ends up lasting 2 weeks just driving to school and back but on average id say that i get around 18 mpg in mostly city the 6th gear really saves on the gas if your going with a M6

This was a pretty good debate on this link. I think reading up on some of the posts should give you the general idea. LS1's are decent for gas milage.

I get like the exact same mpg, I can only go 200 miles on one tank around town sometimes less than that. I was also wondering if it is my driving habits or something if else is the culprit.
