well last year i drove from troy (15miles from detroit) all the way to the left side of the upper punninsula, it was around 450 miles, i drove mostly in cruise, but i got up to 150 a couple of times getting away from the state boys, had to stop a couple of exits to make sure he didnt call the other boys on me, but i got around 350 miles to the tank, before filling up on 94 sunoco premium (all i use). i believe i had a intake manifold gasket leak at the time, but i was going up to my buddy's house where we took the intake all apart anyway, to clean it up and put new gaskets on. So a couple days later on the way home i got a little under 400 miles to the tank and only kinda throttled it once, to pass some dirty deisel exhaust spittin ahole.

-hope that helps, i dont take her on road trips anymore, although that was the best one ever, pulled so many chicks

Well the LS1 and the LT1 would kill third gens when it comes to gas mileage. The LS1 really gets good mpg, ive heard up to 34 mpg. As for my 1992 305 auto, Id say Id get around 18 Highway at around 65-70 MPH (thats likely at most, with really good gas [BP]).

i did a little bit of math and came to about 8-10 city and 10-12 highway. thats not too good but with a 750 carb and big cam its not TOO bad.

When my 94 Z28-A4 was new, I took it on several cross country trips. With the cruise set at 75 MPH the car would get between 24-26 MPG, depending on road condition. Driving flat out through eastern Montana, it was around 12 MPG, which is also what it got in New York City traffic.
