Just wondering what type gas mileage other people got in there camaros.

 

Best I ever got on a road trip was 31, that was when my car was stock. It doesn't so well now.

 

I was just wondering how the cars did with the different combo's people have put together.

 

I get 28mpg hwy and 22mpg allaroud just bolt ons w/A4 and 3.42 gears!

 

stock gears
16 in town
30 hw

4.11 gears
25 hw

 

not sure but I know after the 373's and hpp it dropped big time

 

Thanks guys I am looking at buying a 97 z28 and gas mileage was a factor since I have to drive 30 miles to school and work everyday.

 

best i got outa the LT1 was 24.5 and the worst was 10.5

not i probably averaged 12 through out the duration that i was driving it althought when it was running well i could consistantly average 17

 

If you are buying a V8 you can't be concerned about mileage cause it's not gonna be good. If it's that big a deal don't bother. I get 200 to a tank with a light foot combined city/highway.

 

before i did my headers and found out my old plugs were f*cked(2 were loose enough to wiggle and they were all gapped wrong) i was getting 150ish to a tank, very bad. no after all that and a pcmforless tune ive gotten 120 off a lil over a 1/4 tank, so much better.

 

120 from 1/4 tank? So you got 480 to a tank? Thats better then my 1.5 liter toyota

 

I realize it will not get good gas mileage like a 4 banger. But compared to my truck that i am driving now just about anything would be better than the 9mpg that it gets.
Current Daily Driver is a 1979 Chevy 1/2ton 4x4 with a 400hp 350

 

sometimes my elantra doesnt get that much better

sometimes i can get 20 mpg in the 4 banger 138 hp engine

where as i could get 18 with the v8 275 hp

 

...or not... My LS1 gets better gas milage than a lot of 4 cyl's... Maybe if you're driving a modded to hell V8 which shouldn't be on the street anyway then you might get that kinda poor gas milage. But for an everyday driver, my V8 gets great milage for what it offers. I have to try hard to get under 300 miles per tank. (I have the 99+ 14.8)

 

On my '95 basically M6 stock Z28 I average about 26mpg on the highway (between 70 and 80mph average) and about 17-21 in the city depending on traffic and my right foot, lol.

From my experience, with these cars you can eat a lot of gas in a hurry, but if you drive reasonably and do a lot a highway driving they can be pretty good actually. What kills me is having to pay the extra 20 cents or so for the premium! Thats why I keep an accord for a daily.
