Average MPG

I was just wondering what is the average mpg for the z28 camaro 1998-2002, or a v8 bird same production years. When I say average I mean like city and highway.

Re: Average MPG

You can drive it down depending on how heavy your foot is - traded in a Toyota 4X4 pickup for mine in '01 - even with my mods I get better mileage now.

Re: Average MPG

In the 4 years I've owned my car ('02 Z28 in sig) with gear ratios ranging from 2.73's to 4.10's, I've pretty much always averaged around ~230 miles per tank, +/-. Whatever that works out to be in MPG? (I think it's around ~20? ). The most I EVER got (once ) was 310 miles (think that's around ~26 MPG? ) and on the other end of the scale, I've gotten less than 200 miles to a tank!

HA, i get about 15 avg., and have and M6. The car i running horribly rich, and has the supercharger, with bolt ons and a blower cam. I pray black soot out of the borla its that rich. I def. need a tune myself, dynotuning is not great for daily driving.

Re: Average MPG

Since no one posted the site, here's something that's always been pretty helpful and accurate enough for me. It's a big page though and takes a bit to load fully.
