My stock 88 LO3 with a 4 speed auto and 2:73 rear gear would get 25mpg overall. The trip from my parents house to the apartment I used to have in Houston was 225 miles and it would only use half a tank. The tank is only 15 gallons. I believe TPI is about the same but I'm not sure on that one.

Re: stock fuel mileage?
Actually TBI is supposed to be better for gas milage. The tuned-port motors are great for that torque feeling, but not the most fuel economical.
My car has the LO3 and a T5. I only get about 15-17 around town but I have a lead foot sometimes.
On the highway though, with the cruise at 70mph, I can usually average 27-32 mpg. 5th gear rocks!
