Gas Mileage Help!!!!!JaxCamaroGuy 12-02-2004, 09:19 PM I just bought my 96 camaro v6 5speed, 110k on her, the mileage im getting seems to be pretty shabby, ummm im not use to driving a manual , is there any special tricks i should be aware of when driving it? and what could i replace to help my mileage, my air filter was dirty as hell so i changed it! help me please, im new to the camaro scene Z28SORR 12-03-2004, 01:13 PM It would help if you posted what the mileage is! Do a standard tune up, plugs, filters, wires, etc. Run some injector cleaner though it. And/or run or have someone run a diagnostic on it. Replacing the CAT probably wouldn't hurt. When driving "short shift", i.e. shift at lower rpm's and drive in the next higher gear.

My 3800 averages around 280 miles to a tank normally around town, I have on ocasion gone as much as 315-320 but that's REALLY pushing it! Milage is somewhere in the area of : 17 is my worst in the winter 21-22 is my normal driving around town 23-25 moderate highway driving 28-32 has been my best on long trips ~Chris :cool: | ||
