Whats your MPG

If you have an 85-92 Fuel injected camaro, please specify your engine size (305/350) transmission (auto/man.) and how many km's (or miles) you get to the tank.

reason i ask is i'm looking into buying a camaro, but the car i drive now gets 550-600 km's on 50L's of gas. I don't want this to be a huge hit, i am still in college

thanks for your help,
Jeff

thanks, if i calcualted my car right, im getting about 26mpg (also i'm from canada so in my conversions something could've gone wrong) so i don't think it would be a big diffrence. How do u drive? do you have a heavy foot or light foot?

I got 256 miles to my last tank(12.5 gallons) probably 70/30 highway/city. Thats about 20mpg. Since I've tuned it up, I'm averaging about 18mpg.
