I’m considering buying a 2010 Camaro SS, and I’m really curious about its fuel mileage. I’ve read some varying opinions online, so I’d love to hear from anyone who owns or has experience with this model.

Fuel Efficiency Specs

From what I understand, the Camaro SS comes with a 6.2L V8 engine, and its EPA ratings are around:

  • City: Approximately 16 MPG
  • Highway: About 25 MPG

That’s decent for a performance car, but I want to know what it’s like in real-world driving conditions.

Owner Experiences

If you own a Camaro SS, how does your fuel mileage stack up against the numbers? Do you notice a difference based on your driving style? For instance, are you getting closer to the highway rating when cruising, or does city driving bring it down significantly?

Comparisons with Other Models

How does the fuel economy of the Camaro SS compare to other vehicles in its class? I’d be interested in hearing comparisons with Mustang GTs or other performance-oriented cars from the same year.

Factors Affecting Mileage

What factors have you found affect your fuel mileage? Things like tire pressure, driving habits, or even modifications you might have done could play a role.

Conclusion

Please share your experiences! I’m really hoping to gauge what to expect in terms of ownership costs and overall performance before making a decision. Thanks in advance for any insights!

I’ve owned a 2010 Camaro SS for over a year now. In the city, I’m averaging about 15 MPG, but I can get up to 24 MPG on the highway. Quite impressed overall!

I totally agree! My city mileage is about the same, but on road trips, I even hit 26 MPG. It’s a fun ride for sure!

4

I was expecting worse fuel mileage considering it’s a muscle car, but mine averages around 18 MPG combined. Not too shabby!

5

That’s awesome! Have you done any modifications that might affect your mileage?

Mine’s all stock and I’m getting similar results as you, Sarah. In the city, I sometimes drop to 14 MPG when I’m out having fun, though!

7

I think it’s all about driving style! I can easily maintain 22-23 MPG on the highway if I stay at a reasonable speed.

8

So true! But how hard is it to resist the power of that V8? It’s a tough balance!

9

I swear the Camaro SS is a gas guzzler! If I push it hard, I’m struggling to hit 12 MPG in the city. Anyone else experience this?

10

Yes! I can relate. Sometimes it feels like the engine just begs to be set free on the road!

11

I love my Camaro SS, but the high fuel consumption was unexpected. It’s hard not to enjoy the thrill, though. Would I trade the fun for fuel efficiency? Probably not!

12

Exactly! It’s a muscle car after all. You don’t buy a Camaro to save gas!

13

I had a good laugh seeing the gas gauge drop after a fun drive. My buddies can’t believe I only get about 13 MPG in the city if I’m really pushing it!

They probably think you’re joking! But hey, worth it for the thrill, right?

I’ve got a 2010 Camaro SS, and my fuel mileage is around 18 mpg in the city and 25 on the highway. It really depends on your driving style. I tend to accelerate quickly, which definitely impacts it!

16

Maintenance is key! I make sure to keep my tires inflated properly and get oil changes regularly. I usually see around 22 mpg on the highway. Makes a big difference!

17

Do you think modifications, like exhaust systems, could negatively impact fuel efficiency?

In my experience, some modifications can actually help fuel efficiency! I’ve added a cold air intake, and I’ve noticed a slight improvement in my mileage. Every setup is different, though.

It’s true! My friend got better mileage after doing a tune-up. But I’ve also seen some upgrades that made their mileage worse. Just depends on the parts and tuning.

Exactly! I’m curious if aggressive driving is the biggest factor affecting mileage for everyone here?
