M6-CC306-Gas Mileage

Just like the title says, what kind of gas mileage can you expect from this cam. Thanks.

Is that city or highway?

Re: M6-CC306-Gas Mileage

It's like they say, "If you have to ask what it costs, you can't afford it." You don't put a cam in for gas mileage.

That being said, I have a 230/236 cam, which is not quite as big as a 306. I have gotten as high as 24 mpg on the highway for long trips. Around town, I get more like 13-15, and that includes a heavy foot. My car is not my daily driver, so I really don't care about the gas mileage.

I got 18 on my last trip. That is with a mail order tune and no o2 sensors. I was happy.

I get under 13 in town. I also have a heavy foot.

I'm getting between 12 and 17 mpg. Thats with a 383 motor and 4.11 gears. But I really don't worry the milage much since my Daily driver Insight is averaging 76.3 mpg!!
