would be nice but not as a daily driver. some places today (5/22) have already . 1 cent short of the horrible $4.00/gallon mark.. Honestly if gas ever reaches $10.00 a gallon it would take a whopping $125 dollars to fill a Honda Civic...... V8's wouldn't stand a chance.... just my

Gas prices are not going to get THAT high before this oil bubble bursts. There's already too much supply for demand and it'll start to go down after the Olympics.

That said, the Camaro is going to get excellent fuel mileage, period. Notwithstanding the thirsty Mustang GTs and Shelbys, and the bloated Challenger, I think 25-30 mpg is realistic given the superior powerplants in the Camaro. Sure, it'll slurp the gas when you mash it, but the LS V8s and the next-generation V6s are incredibly efficient cruisers.

I will give you all a quote that will make you wonder even more than you already do about this car.

"You ain't seen nothing yet"

I agree with you there, this is one serious model redesign that Chevy is doing here. I have a friend that swears he is going to buy one. It will certainly look nice in his garage along side his black '68 RS!

I will have a 2011 SS (cause I refuse to ever buy first year models EVER again) but the idea of the Turbo 2.0 Ecotec in the base LS is very cool.

Engine wise too, rumor has it that the Z28 model will blow away the GT and the SS model will be awesome. Hope those rumors come true!

By the way, the person who told me that quote told it to me after they drove the prototype...

you must know the guy over on the FQuick site (OctaneZ28 is his sn over there)...he posted a blog very recently talking about the second Camaro Focus Group that he was so priveledged to go to...very nice read that blog was, and very exciting. the V6 has the potential to have as much power as a Mustang GT...that is assuming they don't detune it from the CTS.
