how much does everone spend on gas? and how long does it last till you fill up again? trying to do some research because gas is so expensive.

 

Gas is about $2.20 here in SE Michigan, suprisingly TWENTY CENTS MORE expensive than yesterday. No joke. But an L98 will get about 17-20 city mpg and about 20-26 hwy miles. You'd be looking at $30 a tank or more, which would get you 250-300 miles depending on driving style, on a freshly tuned car. Keep it maintained and it will treat you right.


my cammed/headed 305TBI was getting 16 city before I killed it.

 

Hmmm... tough question. Which car?

My GTA was only getting about 13 mi/gal combined before the motor puked. That may not be a good indicator however as the car wasn't exactly what you'd call stock. :shrug:

 

I get about 17-19mpg avg, 20 or higher if I get to drive at a constant speed. However, I don't top off. Most of the time it sits in stop and go traffic. I always fill up at about 200 miles (about 11 gallons), twice a week. Now that gas is peaking again here in CA, I'm sure I'll see $30 fill ups once again.

 

thanks everyone, thats helps me out alot. now to just get some $$$$ for a 91 z-28.

 

You'll be very happy with it.

 

Whatever you do, dont swap to a TH350. hahaha! My freeway MPG is really crappy, even with the lockup (TH350-C trans).

 

I usually get 12-13mpg in the city but that is with short trips and stop/go traffic. I manage 26mpg on the highway though.

 

is that cammed, too?

 

Yeah....Small Comp Cam 210/220 @0.050

 

I love my 91 Z28 l98. I didn't buy it for the gas mileage, but usually I get 15-17 mpg city/freeway combined. Since I enjoy driving it I accelerate on the onramps or around turns. I suppose if I took it easy I would get better mileage, but then I might as well be driving an econobox. I have owned other Camaro's including a 1969 SS and 1989 IROC convertible and enjoy this one by far. Good luck in your search.
