Expert Quotes:
14/19 mpg city/highway for the ZL1; 15/24 mpg for the SS; up to 19/30 mpg with the V-6.
EPA
The V-6 models, when equipped with the six-speed automatic transmission, rate as high as 19 mpg city and 30 mpg highway, for instance. The V-8 SS scores just 15-16 mpg city and 24 mpg highway, depending on the transmission chosen.
The ZL1's prodigious 580-horsepower output predetermines a fairly low gas mileage score, and the EPA's 14/19-mpg estimate reflects that.
Conclusion
Despite strong highway gas mileage, the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro's high-power, sports coupe nature limits its around-town efficiency.
