Camaro gets a refresh after 1year.

Just thought I'd share. I covered 260 highway miles with 9.3 gallons of premium fuel on cruise control at 88mph. That would mean about 1 tank can get me up

Just thought I'd share. I covered 260 highway miles with 9.3 gallons of premium fuel on cruise control at 88mph. That would mean about 1 tank can get me up to 520 miles. Probably more if I maintained 70 or 75 mph.

I think that's pretty impressive considering Im now pumping 504 bhp out my car.

That's great... If it really happened.

How big is the tank? I've gotten over 500 miles on a tank in the Z before. Came out to nearly 28 mpg.

edit... I see it's about the same size tank. And there's no way I could set cruise near 90 in the Z and get that. I would fully expect to see the mileage you're seeing the Camaro. More powerful engine = greater efficiency (that is... as long as you can keep your foot out of it).

When I had my Z cruise would get my about 24mpg doing 70mph The Z didnt like texas summers to much. Come fall and the Z would perk up all the way thru spring. In the summer it would feel like I lost 40hp. My mpg would increase by 2mpg in the fall
