30mpg is actually impressive for 6 litres of displacement, well done chevy! but i imagine that was the stick shift one.

It was an automatic. It had active fuel management which included cylinder deactivation. When it was cruising on the highway it was running in V4 mode. That and it was a coupe and far more aerodynamic than most SUVs.

so it basically ran as a 3 litre 4 cylinder, but still. my mom gets 25-30mpg out of her 1.8L automatic avensis, so that camaro is up there with "decent" fuel mileage.
