Good or Bad? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Back2Black · 01-09-2015, 11:47 PM

I know this could vary and I am 1 Month new to owning my 2011 V6 Camaro (28,600KMs on it ), I have come from a 6.1 Hemi so anything is good gas mileage to me... lol

I am getting 17.5/100Kms
Fuel Range 397 Kms

Is this good or bad for my Vehicle, I have done some research, and there are so many different calculations on what this Vehicle should be getting, so I figured I would ask the experts, other owners

Thanks

Not being a dick, but I don't understand your mileage lol! I get 14.4 MPGs 90% city driving. On the highway I've gotten up to 30.6 MPGs!

If I drove highway more often, I'd say the average would be in the low 20s

I have a V8 and I get 17.5 MPG city driving. I drove a V6 for a day and its average MPG was 22.3

Could be too rich of a fuel burn. do you have a tune on the car or anything? any mods? any more info would be ideal to help and provide some help.

Best test you can do, go on a highway, put cruise control on and reset your meter and see what you get. drive for about an hour with limited stops and at one constant speed. write that down.

now reset the meter again and do the same thing with city driving for one hour. write it down.

simple math will tell you your average in best/worst case scenario. post up what you get on the highway as that is the most important and easy thing to see if there is something wrong.

In Canada its Kilometers = Annoying , trust me... lol

And MLAZ your not being a dick, I hate the Metric System... but Its all we have here...

I guess it was kind of a loaded question, because this calculation was based on City and Highway... Trip 1 and Trip 2 both read 312Kms Traveled = 193 Miles

Fuel Range 397 Kms = 265 Miles...

1Km = 0.621371miles

17.5Kms = 10.53miles

Sorry for all the numbers... , if it all makes sense?

Thnx Mr Acoustic , going to try the advice you have just given and go from there.. there are no mods that I know of, I was Paddle shifting at times so trying the power in it, which would raise it in fuel consumption

Thnx Again
