EPA Rates 2010 Chevy Camaro V-6 at 29 MPG on Highway

Stepping up to the 426-hp manual V-8 SS, ratings are 16/24 mpg. The 400-hp automatic V-8 SS gets 16/25 mpg.

Compared with other new-age muscle cars like the Dodge Challenger and Ford Mustang, the Camaro’s ratings are impressive. It matches the Challenger SRT8’s power ratings, but that version of the Challenger gets 13/19 mpg with its standard automatic. The manual V-8 Mustang, which lags the Camaro in power ratings by more than 100 hp, is rated at 16/24 mpg.

We’ll have to wait and see how these ratings translate to real-world numbers, but in our experience EPA ratings are close to actual mileage.

Six-cylinder versions of the Camaro run on regular gasoline, while the V-8 recommends premium.
