I didn't think it was dumb, it's a fair question asked by many, many people. I apologize for my sarcasm in my first response.

I see you have an H3 Hummer. It really cracks me up when people ask what kind of gas mileage I get on mine.

Did you do the torsion bolt lift on the front end to level it out? I did that to get rid of the rake and lost 1MPG i think, its around 14-15, used to hit 16 sometimes. This is an awesome vehicle and GREEN since the H2 is like 10 all the time!

In my '12 1LT/A6, I could consistently get 25-27mpg on interstate trips. Went 1,500 miles last summer and averaged 26.8 for the whole trip - never reset my mileage calcs.

I now have a '13 1SS/L99 (auto tranny) and it does have the Active Fuel Management (AFM) system you speak of. Haven't taken an extended trip with it yet so I don't know what kind of results to expect. As others have said, I didn't buy a Camaro for the gas mileage but I (like the OP) am interested in the best fuel economy it can muster when on a trip. I mean... why not? Around town, going for a high-paced cruise, or just punchin' it 'cause it feels good... who cares?

No clue! Can you tell from this pic?



I think I get around the same mileage you said, on the highway anyway.

I can respect a response like this. I apologize to you, sir, for my previous post. I just find these (what appear to be) knee-jerk responses to any MPG discussion very frustrating.
Again, my apologies and kudos to your post quoted above.

Does not look like you did...if you dont like the "raked" look where the front squats down you can jack it up by a simple turn of the bolts under the driver doors. Search the hummer forums for a DIY if interested, takes less than an hour.

911medic all I can say is that mine was shite when I first got her, but it got substantially better the more I drove her. I suspect yours to be the same.

Right back at you my friend!

okay today I decided to do a little test with my v6. I got on the highway and reset my computer and then drove around 35 miles from my girlfriends place home. the highway here is up and down and does not have a lot of flat ground. i drove beween 85 and 95kmh (50 to 55 mph) just taking it easy. 85 up the hills and 95 down the hills. When i got home the computer told me I got 6.8l/100k or 41 MPG on the canadian gallon which is the equivalent of 34 MPG on an american gallon so I can now rest at peace and know that when the commercials on television say that the camaro can get up to 40 MPG they are not lying. All this and I have not installed my VARARAM yet as it is still too cold. today it was a little warmer than it has been in the past few days - around 34 F. I expect to get a bit better MPG with the Vararam. Considering they test cars for the estimated MPG on a Dyno at a consistant 55MPH I think I did rather well. I have proven that I can get good gas mileage if I want so now for some more fun

[MrWray]

i average 20.7mpg in my 2013 2SS/RS

[CamaroKevin]

I average about 16-23 mpg...Idk how accurate it is. It's not instant mpg after all. I drive in M a lot, so that probably explains why I don't get great mileage.

I average 11 mpg. And proud. Camaros are built for speed not for mpg. To compensate my jeep averages 20 mpg
