72 Olds 442, 05 L59 5.3, T10, 2.73 rear, 22mpg as a daily driver. About half hiway, half city.
Expect a little less milage with an auto trans (5%?), but about a 10% improvement with 4L60 OD over a non OD auto.
Drive it hard a lot and all bets are off.

Details in my sig. Have not measured around town, guessing about 20 mpg. Have pulled 27+ with cruise control at 65 on the highway.
