16 gallon or 19?
Is the sixth gen a 16 or 19 gallon gas tank? I thought Checy said it was 16 gallon. M/T said it was 19.

Check out the specs which are available on the GMMedia site.
MOTOR TREND is not (at least in my experience) known as a best choice resource. Laborsmith |

I'm pretty sure it's 16 gallons.

I think when updated it will show 16 gallons. I believe the same section that shows 19 gallons also shows a 100,000 mile power train warranty. Both are equally accurate.
I should have double checked the specs but I did not. A lesson learned. Laborsmith |

The Mustang has a 16 gallon tank. If Gen Six Camaro tank has a 16 Gallon it better have amazing MPG numbers. A smaller tank would be the first disappointment in the new model.

Jeremy Clarkson drove a Gen 5 Shelby on a Top Gear episode. He loved the car but cited the poor gas mileage and small gas tank as a major flaw. Not that I follow every word that Mr. Clarkson says, but I agree with him for that particular example.
This is 2015, a new generation of Camaro, and so on, range is more an issue to me than mileage. I like to get at least two weeks between fill ups. The 19 gallon tank was actually part of the reason I bought a Camaro over a Mustang. |

I would rather a smaller tank, less weight...just have to fill up more often on road trips, works for me, more stops/detours to show off the car!

If added fuel efficiency gets you the same miles per 16 gallon tank as the 5th gen's 19, I can see why they elected to keep it smaller, though i suppose if the space was available, they should have utilized it, maybe 17 or 18 gallons.

I'm fairly certain it is 16 gal...and I don't care at all that it shrank.
