How much MPG did the original Firebird 400s get back when they were brand new? Hwy and City?

Thanks

Let's see. 3.08's, a 400, non a/c. Hmm. I don't know about originally, but I'll say you'll get about 12 city and 17 freeway.
My 68 455 4 spd would do about the same.
It had 2.78's, but that's not much in rpm's and would probably put your 400 in a better part of the torque curve.
