Factory listings claim 16 mpg city and 26 mpg highway for the 305 Auto
For a manual its 14 city and something like 24 highway.

Somehow though I pull 17 mpg from my manual '92 305.

Hey guys, I don't own a camaro, but I am looking at the camaro engines. I'm thinking about getting a Fiero, and swaping either a 350 crate engine into it, or a camaro engine and supercharging it. I have been looking around this forum for ideas, and I came across this thread. It hit me like a brick wall, how crappy of MPG you guys get. I have a escort, that used to get 28-29 mpg. I loved it. Then I turbocharged it, and now it gets around 20. I don't know if I can take another ten off of that....lol!

Anyway, I thought I might let you guys know about a national private gas club called Revolution Road.
This club allows its members to save $50 a month on gas. Plus it has a nation save drivers program that is even better than AAA. You can get 5 tows up to 25 miles for free per year.

In my fiero I'm looking for about 350-400 rwhp....I believe a camaro 350 supercharged should get me there...should it not?

Anyway, good luck with your mpg!

74 Camaro with a goodwrench 454 HO , with the high rise intake and 850 demon around 5 mpg, with the cast iron and 760 q jet about 7 or 8 mpg. As soon as I get the cowl hood the demon combo goes back on.

just terrible thats all i have to say. my 94 z is a daily driver and having to run the 91 octane or higher for optimum performance gets very costly especially when im in college and having to drive back and forth every day but hey at least im riding in style i would say i get about 10-12 city around 20 on the hwy.
