For a given weight, drag and gearing, the amount of power to sustain driving costs roughly the same, regardless of how much power the engine itself makes.

If nothing else is changing and you aren't putting a 400 in it that is more radical than your 350, it's unlikely that you'll see less fuel mileage. If the 400 makes more power and you find yourself accelerating harder more often to use it, that's where a fuel mileage decrease would come from.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
