having a lot of power is nice and all, but now i want to know something else. what kind of gas mileage are you guys out there getting? actually, lets make it a game. worst mileage wins! go!

 

about 13 mpg on a good day with a tail wind going down hill....

 

I used to get single digits around town pretty regularly in the summer with my '83 when it was a DD. LT1 is now my DD and it gets about twice that.

 

for power and gas mileage, and lsx motor is the way to go

as for me, i think i might get double digits on the highway.

 

My L98 gets about 14/17.

 

I've had a dozen and a half F-cars, and none of the last 10 did worse than 22 mpg highway. I just won't tolerate mileage in the teens. All of the last 10 have had an overdrive automatic, and gearing between 3.08:1 and 3.73:1, except the'95 Z28 convertible. 4L60E, 2.73:1 gears, loose non-lockup converter and 85 mph got me 22 mpg across Wyoming.

 

My carbed v6 gets 17/25.

 

10 around town lol

 

I manage to get 19-20 mpg with my setup.

 

My carbed 305 used to get me about 18.5 with 75% highway miles.

 

22-24 city and like 30 something highway 92 L03/T5/3.08 and it is my DD.

 

my 88 does alright lol.. probabaly 15 or so around town..now my truck.. thats a different story!!! hold it to the floor and watch that gas guage drop





mines not a camaro.. my bad lol

 

I calculated 18 mpg city driving with my stock 1988 IROC 350 with 2.77 gears and on premium fuel.

 

I just calculated mine for the first time. 20 mpg with a mix of city and freeway driving. And I wasn't easy on the gas pedal either. Carbureted 305 with 147,000 miles on it. It was a nice surprise.

 

My mileage around town is nothing to brag about but on the highway steady cruising with the cruise control on I have already got close to 30 mpg. 5.0 (carb) 5 speed (.63 over-drive) 3.27 rear.

 

My turboed 350 tpi gets 18/22, out of boost of course.

 

I get 8-10 in town and 18 on open road...low gear drive-bys really eat the gas quick.

 

I re-checked after driving through a tank of gas being REAL easy on the pedal and I got 18.
