I get about 14MPG city and about 22MPG highway...but that's a 350 TPI. It should be a 65L tank...I usually let it get down no further than 1/4 and it will cost aprox. $32 (but that varies muchly)
Your gas mileage heavily depends on two things...actually more than that, but these IMO are the most important.
One is the tune/state of your engine. A full tune-up including plugs, wires, oil change, fuel filter, air filter, yada yada can increase it muchly. Second is your driving style...if you have a heavy foot, expect to pay more for gas, as would be expected.
Power ratings for that car are...
If its TPI (LB9):
HP=190@4000
TQ=285@2800
If its Carb 4 barrel (LG4):
HP=165@4400
TQ=250@2000
If its Carb 4 barrel HO (L69):
HP=190@4800
TQ=240@3200
Take your pick.

I have a 305 5 speed and it got 530kms outta a tank usually about 450 and that at 14.8 in the 1/4.. I am starting to think differently about putting my 350 in this summer if that is what I get for milage... but hey gotta pay to play! maybe I will just leave my 19lb injectors on it!!
