Default Whats the MPG on your camaro ?!?!

Well im just trying to figure out why my v6 is burning so much gas i get 350kms / 60L around 14MPG i bought the car with a dual exhaust muffler maybe its not connected right? I know i dont burn alot of oil ive been monitoring it weekly and not even a drop of oil burned and basicly the engine is all stock, my engine idle is around 1000 rpm as normal so i cant figure out the problem will more efficient fuel injectors help me out? Can someone take a guess at where the problem is at?

I havent gotten the chance to get a tune up yet i only had the car for 3 months and right now i cant really work on it because its -20 C outside i need a new clutch and flywheel so maybe my mechanic will determine the problem while he is working on those two things but thanks for the tip ill definetly tell him to check my oxygen sensors im glad to hear that not all camaros burn as much as mine gives me hope.

it's not really relevent (seeing as my engine is only 3.1L compared to a 3800) but the highest i've gotten was 32, i average around 29-30

just line above, I got around 23-24ish usually with my 6er.
But i have gotten about 28 before in the SS. That was driving it pretty fairly though, which isn't the funnest thing to do with it, lol.

About 18-20, but that's because I don't drive my Camaro gentle. I eat corners alive, and and swallow ricers whole.

I'd check all spark/fuel components. Even the littlest thing in either of those systems can royally screw you over.
