Gas mileage

Anybody with a 350 V8 camaro whats ur gas mileage with regular gas not premium or anything. If you reply tell what year and TPI or TBI. If anyone has added or modified anything, and noticed better gas mileage post that too. NOT A POST FOR CARBURATED ENGINES

Car: 83 POS monte carlo 2015 chevy P/U
Engine: 92 5.7 tpi 5.3
Transmission: 700r4 6L60E
Axle/Gears: 2.42 too high
my car isn't a camaro but a monte carlo, same weight as a camaro, but like driving a brick going down the road.
my motor is a dead stock 5.7 TPI from a 92 camaro. i get 16~18 in town depending on how i drive, best on the highway so far was just over 25 MPG running 70+ with the A/C on.

im sure thats on the highway, its unreal for a V8 for any year up to 98 to get 25 specially with a Fbody... thats gotta be one hell of a set up if its in the city.. i could be wrong

17-20 mpg with a combination of highway/city driving and sticking my foot into it every chance I get.
Should be a little better when I reactivate highway fuel and spark modes.
