Your right about the 292 not gettin near the gas mileage, but when it comes to power look, out cause the 292 smokes them small block 6 cylinders. lol. The stock 292 gets around 15 mpg. When you hook it to a four barrel and ad headers then back it with a 5 speed some say you get around 18 mpg. Not bad, I mean that's better than my dad's 496 big block chevy( A woppin 8 mpg!)
