I went from an FRS to a Mustang. Definitely a huge size difference which translates into the type of driving experience. Just know that the size and low weight of the twins comes at a cost. Increased NVH and less comfort. For some people that is not a big deal at all. For others it can be a hassle on a daily basis.
Take one on a nice long test drive to really get a feel for the car. Camaro's may be heavy, ponderous, and have poor viability, but they can cruise down the interstate for days are and very quiet inside. When I hit the toll roads and set cruise control at ~85mph, its effortless in my mustang. The FR-S was a much more taxing experience on the highway. I live an hour away from everything, so I'm not sure how much long distance commuting you actually do.
As for fuel economy, I had a lifetime average of about 27.5mpg over 10k miles in my FRS, and would do about 31mpg on the highway. You have to use premium gas though, which is something you don't have to in your Camaro. That offsets the increased economy of the FR-S.
