DETROIT (AP) -- General Motors Corp.'s top executive says the fuel economy of the new Chevrolet Camaro sports car is an example of how GM is paying closer attention to improving gas mileage.
Chief Executive Rick Wagoner says the V-6 version of the Camaro will get 29 miles per gallon on the highway, and a high performance SS model with a V-8 will get 25 miles per gallon.
Wagoner said during a speech Tuesday in Washington, D.C., that fuel economy numbers for the new car were released Tuesday by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The 2010 Camaro began arriving in dealer showrooms Monday. GM stopped making an earlier version of the iconic muscle car in 2002.
