IMO if you pull 15-18 your doing good, I would guess 13-15 on the freeway if you have a overdrive

o, dam, i guess it would be worth it to get the ls1 because i thought that i would save some money putting that engine in, but it is worth it when u figure out how much i will save putting the LS1 in

I got 28MPG on my LB9/700R4 combo... but it was on the highway, and there weren't many hills... and maybe the wind was at my back... it seems like a high number to me, is that normal? I guess I shouldn't get used to it if I'm gonna mod this baby
