What kind of MPG can I expect 5.0 EFI/AOD

Post by 68shortbedinmo »

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... :doh:

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? :hd:
