Nothing was more exaggerated on camaro5 than MPG. Some claiming
26-28 AVERAGE on the SS. They all AVERAGE 22-23 at most, if you try
real hard on the interstate. Maybe the 16's are better but I doubt it.

So you doubt it.....wow

I don't post based on the display, I calc myself on fuel used vs miles driven and its 27 at least.

Of course they are going to be better, they weigh less....

Heres mine:

200 mile road trip about a month ago, cruise control set to 67 90% of the time on I95 Stafford, VA to a little past Richmond, VA, weather was clear about 30 degrees outside. Hand calc was actually 26.7 for the entire trip.

Switching to direct injection is a huge game changer.....

You are now able to control the fuel spray pattern and tumble in the cylinders to such a degree that it squeezes so much more efficiency out of the combustion process... alot less fuel is wasted converting chemical energy into mechanical....

I always wondered if there's a possibility for an adaptive cruise control that maximizes fuel efficiency. Meaning that the cruise control isn't pegged to a certain speed, but the highest fuel economy. This way the car could maximize fuel efficiency for long trips (yes, I know it won't be the fastest trip).

Finally got out for a long drive. This mileage was cheating a little as it was a lot of downhill.

But, I'm still in the break in process and I do my best to vary speed, engine rpm's, and switch between 5th & 6th gear somewhat frequently.

2LT V6 6 speed

I bet on long drives after break in using cruise control at 70 mph people will see 32mpg with the V6 (especially on the auto).
