What is the fuel consumption of the Camaro?

[McCalvin]

The fuel consumption of the Camaro is around 10 liters. Taking the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4786mm, width 1897mm, height 1356mm, wheelbase 2811mm, fuel tank capacity 72l, and curb weight 1570kg. The 2017 Chevrolet Camaro features a double-ball-joint MacPherson front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 275PS, maximum torque of 400Nm, and maximum power of 202kW, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

I just drove my friend's Camaro 3.6L version, with actual urban commuting fuel consumption around 12-14L/100km, while highway cruising can drop to 9L/100km. Although equipped with a 6AT transmission, it downshifts very aggressively during acceleration, often requiring two deep pedal presses at traffic light starts. With a 59L fuel tank, pure city driving means needing to find a gas station after just over 400km. Modified exhausts and ECU tuning are a different story—I've seen car enthusiasts posting 18L/100km figures.

Camaro's fuel consumption depends on the version. The older 2.0T model averages around 11L/100km, while the newer 6.2L V8 with cylinder deactivation technology is actually more fuel-efficient. Last time I rented an SS version for a coastal highway drive, cruising at 90 km/h showed 8.9L/100km on the dash, but it jumped to 16L in city driving. That's typical for American muscle cars - throttle sensitivity can easily cause a 2-3L difference in fuel consumption.

As someone who drove a Camaro RS for three years, I can tell you: the average fuel consumption is 12.5L/100km. Using the heater in winter saves 1L of fuel compared to using the AC in summer, because the AC compressor consumes a lot of power. Remember to keep the tire pressure above 2.5—I tried lower pressure once and it increased consumption by 0.8L. For those who upgrade to wider tires, be prepared for at least 15L/100km.

Test data: The 2023 model 2.0T standard four-cylinder engine consumes 11.5L in the city and 7.8L on the highway, while the 6.2L V8 model consumes 15L in the city and 9.3L on the highway. The engine with cylinder deactivation technology can shut down four cylinders when running on the highway. However, when the fuel tank warning light comes on, there are still 12 liters of fuel left, enough to run 80-90 kilometers for emergency use.

My Camaro ZL1 consumes the most fuel when driving on mountain roads, easily exceeding 20L. But the 10-speed transmission is quite smart for daily commuting, rarely letting the RPM go over 2000. Cold starts are particularly fuel-hungry, so I recommend not exceeding three minutes of warm-up. If fuel consumption bothers you, try switching to Snow Mode—it limits torque and can save about 1.5L, though you'll feel noticeably less push-back. In traffic jams, remember to turn off the start-stop function; the fuel saved isn't worth the battery replacement cost.
