Hi I have my car for a year now and looking for tips to make it more fuel efficient. Its a 2002 z28 camaro with a ls1 in it. I bought it because its supposed to be one of the most fuel efficient v8s out there.

I know it isn't a geo metro or anything but can any of ya guys give me tips? and no i won't pull out the v8 right now i get about 25-30 mpg on the highway with a modded trans. the trans has a higher stall converter so = less mpg but i won't take that out either.

Welcome to EM,

An LS1 V8, huh? Well, there are some power/economy folks here, that I'm sure can help you with the specifics of your kind of car. But, the general ecodriving techniques will still apply -- check out the list!

will you take out all your spare seats? we do that.

NeilBlanchard-

well i actually do alot of those driving moves already. i live in a big city and i drive my car maybe once a week. i don't use my breaks very often and coast in N alot when it comes to stoplights and stopsigns. i try to never drive in in climate weather.

luvit-

I was kinda toying with the idea not really for mpgs but it equates to that too... perhaps i should as i hate being chauffeur anyway.

we also disconnect half of our spark plugs to burn leaner.

Is it an auto?

Welcome Mr. Ryon. I'm sure there're all kinds of aero mods you can do to your z28 :-).

Happy coasting.

Also, don't forget to pick up some instrumentation (like the SGII).
