19mpg at 3200 on the highway without cruz and a 3.42 rear end. 350 engine and turbo 350
And I did build mine with the milage in mind as well as perfomance. 347hp and can drive it anywhere. And I have! Been to North Dakota,South Dakota,Wisconcin,Iowa, and Nebraska.

Mine gets about 22 on the highway, with 4L60E mated to a Carbed(used to be FI) 350 out of a 92 buick roadmaster. I did jimmy rig the lockup torque converter, it really helps, at 70, shes only turnin like 2200, but in town, s***, im always on the gas, so no clue.

i\'m guessing about 10 to 12 on the highway if i baby it, but i really don\'t care. i just fill it up when it gets low.
