Manual vs. Auto gas mileage
Manual vs. Auto gas mileage
I may be able to pick up an 89 IROC for $2000, obviously its an auto, so i was wondering, should i wait until i can find a 5spd (305) or pick up this 350. what is the diffrence in fuel consumption between auto/man. noticable? or not really
thanks,
Jeff

Gas milage will be about the same, it all depends on how you drive it.

If you get it, go ahead and plan on a new set of injectors, the 89's had the crappy multec injectors that will fail. fiveomotorsports.com has some good deals on bosh injectors.
