I did a very good test with a 20 mile loop and no traffic problems back to back. Small sloping up and down to some flat. It got better by about 1.5 mpg with dod OFF! Yes better with it off.

It will also get better mileage with the cam timing on with about 2 mpg to the good. this is with a procharger system. I guess most tuned blown cars turn that off as well.

Person: Oh, it's great it really sporty and gets good gas milage.
Me: Oh? What kind of milage does it get.
Person: about 35 MPG highway
Me: And what engine?
Person: The 3.whatever. It's got 285 horsepower!
Me: I see. I get about 31 MPG highway in mine.
Person: what kinda car do you drive
Me: Camaro SS
Person: oh the 8 cylinder? How much horsepower?
Me: 455
Person: <looks embarrased that he bought a lesser vehicle>

The gas mpg stories about the SS are hilarious. On long slabs driving like a grandma you may hit 30. I’ve driven 400 miles of hwy at 75-80mph and averaged about 26. City driving 16-17.
This car is fast and fun but the mpg sucks and doesn’t compare to any 4 banger turbo. If you get over 20 mpg avg in the SS, congrats. You’re either lying, miscalculating, or driving it like a Park Avenue.

Why so much hate for us not beating the s**t out of our cars? Some people only drive 60-65mph, especially when you local highway speed limit is only 55mph....

I easily get mid-20's mixed city/highway (calculated, not from the DIC). I'm sure true highway would high 20's.

Bc I find it hilarious when people brag about the SS crap mileage, that means I hate people not beating the sh**t out of their cars? I don’t beat up on my SS either. But averaging over 20mpg in an SS, you literally have to baby it.

A mile or 2 at the most and then no in and out of 4 to 8 and 8 to 4.

I turned off my DOD on my SS. I was wondering though does that completely take care of it or should i do the plug kit for the valley?

Been running my Whipple like that for 49k mi. Stock lifters and everything.
