Camaro weighs around 3,750 lbs in V6 automatic trim. Not sure what the Colorado will weight, but the one I'd want (crew cab version) Im sure will weight significantly more.

I'd guess a two wheel drive version could possibly see somewhere between 25 - 27mpg highway rating. I'm guessing the 4x4 will rate around 23 - 25 highway.
