I averaged 12.6 mpg. on my last tank of fuel. This is in my 71 with a tired old 455 with a 2:56 rear and a decent tune. My driving is mostly city, some rural but NO freeway speeds.

In my opinon, cars guys allways want more power. So I say 455 all the way. The difference in fuel economy is small but debatable.
