Here at Chevrolet Chicago, we’ll follow on from the last post where we looked at the Chevrolet Chicago based Illinois Camero Club, while we’re on the topic of local Chevrolet Chicago based automobile clubs and societies, we’ll take some local news from the Chevrolet Chicago Corvette Club.
The next Chevrolet Chicago Corvette Club meeting is on Wednesday 20th February at 8:00 PM at the Oakfield Family Restaurant. You’ll find that in the shopping center by the corner of Geneva Rd. and County Farm. The nice part about the meeting is that you don’t have to even be a member of the Chevrolet Chicago based club to attend, so if you’re interested why not go along for dinner at 6:30 and stay around for the meeting at 8:00. According to their official website, the Chevrolet Chicago Corvette Club will be discussing the events for the coming year and the all important election of officers.
There will be plenty to do and it will be a great way to come and meet the members and get to know more about the Chevrolet Chicago based club, in case you might be thinking of becoming a member yourself.
If you are interested, the Chevrolet Chicago Corvette Club is based in the Western suburbs. Their events can take them pretty much anywhere and they meet every third Wednesday in the month at 8:00 PM. You can get more details from their website at Chevrolet Chicago Corvette Club. I’m sure they’ll be happy for you to get in touch with them.
Illinois Camero Club

Following on from the last post at Chevrolet Chicago entitled: Chevrolet Fuel Economy, where we put the Chevrolet Automobile Company under the fuel efficiency microscope, we thought it would be a nice gesture to feature the Illinois Camero Club in this installment.
Well, the Illinios Camero Club came into existence in August 1987 and their first meeting was conceived by founder member Paul Weinert. The club celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2007 and it’s going from strength to strength!
The club meets on several night of the week at various locations so there’s always something going on for members to be involved in. You can get full details directly from their website about meetings and events as well as membership information, news, pictures and a whole lot more. We’ve included a link to their website at the bottom of this post.
There is also an official monthly publication of the Illinois Camaro Club, called The Insider’s Camaro Connection. A subscription to every edition is included with each membership and it is written by the members for the members. Many members submit articles and information of interest to fellow club members and all members are encouraged to contribute if they can.

Chevrolet Fuel Economy
Filed Under Chevrolet Chicago | 1 Comment
Following on from the last post Chevrolet Models 3, we’ll now take a long hard look at some of the Chevrolet fuel economy measures that it has been promoting of late.
Chevrolet has been focusing on offering fuel efficiency with its choice of automobiles in an attempt to cut back on fuel wastage and pollution. Good sentiments indeed from a world leader in the automobile industry. While still far behind Europe in providing realistic fuel economy, they are at least taking steps in the right direction. So what has Chevrolet got for us?
Gasoline Economy: Well, first up comes their smaller, more fuel efficient cars that are capable of producing up to 30 mpg on the highway. That might sound really good, but when you compare those figures to a huge number of European cars that regularly produce in excess of 50 mpg on the open road, then you’ll see that we have got a long way to go yet!
Active Fuel Management™: This innovative technology works by shifting from eight cylinders to four and back again in your car’s engine. So in situations where the extra power is not needed, for instance cruising down the highway on level roads, the Active Fuel Management™ technology deactivates half of the cylinders in the engine with seamless precision. When the load demands on the engine increase, like when you accelerate or travel uphill, all eight cylinders are reactivated to provide full power. As far as the driver is concerned, you’ll probably not even notice as it all happens seamlessly and automatically.
E85 Ethanol: Now we’re talking true fuel economy! E85 Ethanol vehicles can run on either gasoline or E85, which is a blend of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline, or even a combination of both. The advantages of running your vehicle on E85 ethanol is that it’s a cleaner fuel. It burns mostly renewable fuel sources which are produced mainly from U.S. grown biomaterial. This includes corn or other grain products. By burning E85 ethanol in your car, you are helping to reduce greenhouse gases and at the same time can enhance the nation’s economy and energy independence. The availability of this special fuel will vary by state, but is becoming more popular over time.
We’ll revisit the Chevrolet Chicago feature on fuel economy at a later date when more information is available.
