ive got a first gen s10 with a rollercam 305 from a tpi f-body.ive got a 700r4 tranny i havent determined the gears yet im assuming stock it was a v6s10.ive got shorty headers 2-1/4 exhaust,edelbrock performer intake holley 650 double carb holley black fuel pump ive gutted the stock fuel tank in favor of a 15 gallon fuelcell i was curious what kind of mileage can i expect of this?i have newer 16 inch extreme rims on it. i havent driven it much but it will be my daily driver this summer.

I would take a guess and say 16-20 if you stay out of it. Maybe as good as 20-22 on the highway if it's tuned right.

Yeah, with an overdrive tranny and a good breathing 305 I'd expect high teens maybe even around 20.

thats what i was thinking as far as on the freeway its light overdrive and doesnt take much power to move. my friends and i were arguing about the gas mileage and i figured id see if anyone has one similar and could tell me what they get thanks everyone
