What kind of MPG can I expect 5.0 EFI/AOD

Hello I have recently put a 5.0 EFI/AOD in my 68 which if no one has changed them has 3.54 gears I have it running and moving but not quite road worthy yet and I was wondering what kind of gas mileage I could expect

Thanks

"...I was wondering what kind of gas mileage I could expect..."
In todays range of options out there and with the scale being from terrible to excellent... the answer would be "poor." Poor being a notch above terrible but below average...

Hilly area... Flat lander... Stomping it... cruising... loaded or unloaded... clean injectors or dribbling....

All those variable and more aside... You should get better mileage than if it were a carburated V8...

And regardless... it still beats walking right?
