Im not sure on gas maileage. ive heard anywhere from 12 up to 18 and 19 but cant say from experience. One thing i can say is that it will run forever. Man you cant tear a 300-6 up. They have got to be the toughest engine even built beside chevys 2.2 4 cyl. A buddy had a 94 F-150 with a 300-6 in it and it had well over 300 thousand on it with nothing but oil changes and plugs.
