If you are so concerned about MPG why did you buy an SS? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Maybe it's just me but I'm always surprised about guys that ask about MPG or complain about MPG when they bought an SS. I didn't ask about MPG and truly I don't care, if I did I would have bought the V6. I bought the SS for the HP fully knowing my MPG wasn't good, yes the V8-SS is not fuel efficient, maybe you should consider a Prius.

Some people drive their ss as a DD. we can't all be lucky enough to have a weekend only car.

My Camaro is my economy driver.

Who is complaining??
Do people hit your treshold when entering your car?

If you can't afford to have it as a weekend car, then buy something you can afford gas on rather than spending $35K on a V8.

It's my DD, but I don't drive too much so doesn't matter and like the OP I didn't buy it for MPG, If I was concerned with gas I would have got a completely different type of car.

If you buy an SS, you should understand this. However, I think people complain when they are getting way below what they should. Ex: Getting 15mpg when the car is almost exclusively driven on the highway.

I get between 11-16 mpg in the city. On the freeway as much as 28+mpg
Combined about 20+, way better than my Toyota Tundra

And that is why I didn't

Exactly. I'm just saying that I would complain if I got city mileage on the highway.

I hate it when people bitch about the MPG on their SS too. Why complain to us about their own poor planning/research?
Bottom line is you gotta pay to play.

You easily could by going 155mph
