89 L-98 IROC fuel mileage?
Just a curious question... I just bought a really nice 89 IROC with the L-98 350 TPI. What kind of fuel mileage do you guys get with this motor around town and on the highway typically? I just sold my 01 SS Camaro with the LS1 and 6-speed, obviously the mileage won't be as good as the LS1 car but is it decent? The reason I ask is because I drive an hour to and from work and will be driving this car on pretty days. Also I will be installing a LT1 T-56 6-speed in place of the TH700R4 so that should bump it up a little. All bolt on mods will be done along with headers and magnaflow exhaust. I'm not really concerned about fuel mileage anyway, just curious as to what to expect.
Thanks,
Mike

I got low 20's highway and low teens around town in my L98/T56 car with bolt-ons and chip work.
I never get good mileage in cars because of driving habits, so I'm sure it was good for a couple more with a normal driver. :P
