General Motors released the estimated fuel economy ratings for the Camaro and it gets a best in class rating of 29mpg Highway and 18mpg City. The figures that were released from the EPA, as reported surprised General Motors by 2mog higher than they had thought it would recieve.

The Camaro which went into production in Canada on March 16, 2009, beats it's nearest competitors the Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger in fuel economy.

The Chevrolet Camaro is touting a new advanced base engine design that features direct injection and variable valve timing and the V-8 Camaro offers a cylinder cutoff system, features that Ford Mustang and the Dodge Challenger do not have.
