There are so many different variables to consider. If it is the same motor the body style is not going to make it different. You have to look at the rear gears, properly inflated tires, driving style, state of tune. You may even think more horse power means more fuel consumption but that is not nessesarily true. More HP less throtle to accelerate.

In general, the third gen cars, especially the early ones, weren't known for economy, but gas was cheap back then and no one cared about mileage.

I'm a newbie, thinking of buying a 3rd Gen 350 and since I'm a student the gas mileage is important. So I would appreciate any extra info on the topic.
