You think something up with the car though if I get 14? Believe me I don't drive it HARD MOST OF THE TIME. Thanks for quick replies btw....
I guess some of us just don't understand the question, in the first place. We bought this car to push its performance to the limits, not its fuel mileage. If you are trying to stretch the mpg, then you aren't maximizing the performance of that BEAST of yours.

I do understand knowing the range of mpg on 'any' vehicle, but for a performance car that's something I'll read on the window sticker... once I sit in the driver's seat I couldn't care less! I would buy a car that specializes in mpg if I wanted to push those limits.

My Camaro might be getting some of the lowest MPG on this forum, I rarely get above 15mpg and regularly under 10mpg. (Rear tires are expensive too, but that's another thing that I accepted when I pulled out of the dealership.)

Well said!
