98 RC 318 auto, 355 non suregrip with Mobil 1, cold air and flowmasters...
13-14 in town and 18-22(if I stay below 60mph) on the hiway. usually get 18
on the hiway.. I think those R/T rims and tires really killed my MPG. I
have gotten a best of 24, but I was doing 55mph behind a uhaul for 250
miles.. all interstate too
