Depends on driving habits, other mods, type of driving you do... even the octane level of the gas where you live can matter.
Out where I live, the highest octane we have is 92, and we also live in an area with tons of hills and such, so city driving can use a bunch of gas. I would have been lucky to get over 25mpg on the highway around here when I was stock, and that's the truth.
Now I get around 20mpg on the highway, about 17-18 in the city with my mods.

Don't floor it everwhere and it gets good mileage. As stated above, I get at least 25 on the highway. Probably 27 or 28mpg using cruise control. Its pretty badass having a car that makes about 470hp at the motor and still gets almost 30mpg

I love the way mine drives, no surging at all, etc. I drove with it on stock 3.42's for over a month and it was good, after tune no surging and 29 mpg on the highway! I got 4.10's put in the car last week though, don't know the mileage yet.

I just got back from a fishing trip in NC. I drove in 6th mostly, around 75-80 and ended up getting 27mpg. As others have stated, if you can keep your foot out of it (yeah,right ) this cam gets great gas mileage! Enjoy!!

My cam is similar in size (more lift) and I get excellent mileage (mid to high 20s).

About 200-230 per tank with 50% city 50% highway with F13/112 and #42 inj.
Getting about 13-16 city (45 min commute to go 15 miles)
and 25-30 Highway depending on driving habits.
So about the same as it was witht he hot cam and #30, and only about 10-15 miles per tank less than stock for me.

Right on the money. Sometimes I find myself getting 13mpg if there is alot of traffic.
