Gas mileage

Umm I searched and didnt find anything about this so here goes

What is the average gas mileage for LT1's in 3rd gen camaros

Also what is your opinions on vortech engines

and also is there any way to get smooth efficient acceleration in third gens I love the way these newer cars speed up like my grandparents 90's Caddilac and other like vehicles I know I sound like an idiot with this last question but Im really not

(I hope they dont bite my head off)

and also Why the hell is there a bullet hole in the bowtie next to my post I looked at the legend and it doesnt say anything about it hmmm could it mean I posted it

Cant say anything about LT1 in a 3rd gen.. but 4th gens I've been reading are getting anywhere between 15-18 city and 24-28? highway.. they are pretty efficient motors.. but again based on how you drive it, rear gears and how well the motor runs all factor in.

on a side note.. my lil L03 got 26.723 mpg last week on highway going to a stupid A/C Delco seminar.. talk about a waste of time!

Actually I think that he was talking about me. My O is right under my 0 on my laptop and I don't reach far enough sometimes for the 0.
