Lazy O2 sesnsors come to mind. Get a scanner and look at the O2 sensors, the voltage should be cycling up & down at quick pace. Also check air cleaner and exhaust system, dragging brakes, low tire pressure, heavy shoes.

I don't think your far off of what you should be getting http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/bymod...t_Camaro.shtml (about 15 according to this.)

Yeah, but murderd was talking about around town driving. A car will generally get worse gas mileage in the winter, if you live in a cold weather climate. One reason is because of letting the engine idle more to warm up. Another is some areas have a "winter blend" gas that has more ethanol, which also gives you worse gas mileage.

You mean Tokeland is a real place? I thought that was an altered state of mind you sometimes get yourself in...
