you guys are arguing over gas mileage for a hybrid. if you cant aford the gas in the new camaro or your concerned about how much your gonna get in it.....dont buy it. becasue if they do say you can get 30mpg in it thats not really driving the car thats probably coasting down a hill. if you actually buy the camaro and use it liek its supposed to be run your gonna be lucky to get 15-20 mpg. i know that my cars i have or have had i dont ***** foot around i open them up and let the horses run.

That is the definition of a hybrid, part gas combustion and part electric.

It doesn't really matter to me at all really. I don't drive a hybrid and never will. I will be buying a new Camaro and I will be driving it like a muscle car should be driven.

no thats good if your getting 10 mpg then your a driver just like me. it depends on what kind of driving you do. if im just driving around town.... im not doing the speedlimit if im driving a long distance im probably not doing the speedlimit but im not trying to race anyone either, its just a constant speed and now stopping. but around town yeah ill burn up more gas cause i float through traffic. i hate beeing stuck behind slow drivers

HAHA...you want to know something cool? My wife is excited about the new camaro coming out. She wants to help choose options (told her is was ultimately up to me, since it would be my car which she understands). When we got her the Kia, I let her get all the bells and whistles (even freakin butt warmers for the love of God...We're in TEXAS for cryin out loud!). So...when it's time to get my car, there won't be any complaining at all.

Ouch! Yeah, believe it or not, my wife was driving a Mustang. She wasn't too happy with that car when she was pregnant. I held off as long as I could. But when it was time, there was no cutting corners on safety for the little one. I sold the Mustang to one of my buddies, used that money to pay off the Z-28, and took out a full loan on the Kia (to avoid having two car payments. That kept the monthly payments to $400 vs $700 for both. If you stay single for a while, no one can tell you what to do. However, if u meet a cool girl who has the same interests as you and ends up becoming your wife, well....there's nothing like two incomes and all the money saved by staying in the same house, etc, etc.

That's cool. Now, make sure she remembers she said that! I remember those good old days where it was "my money". hehe... What I wouldn't do just to be able to get a nice set of headers and Y pipe for my SS. The wife knows all I want for Xmas and my Bday's are "car parts"....specifically headers/y pipe. Maybe once all the landscaping and the deck is done I might get lucky. We'll see.
