I'd really say alot of it is in the tune. I was talking to Jason at TR, and his red car @470rwhp still got an amazing 31 mpg on the highway. That was with atleast 4.10/1 gears if not more.
Find a good tuner after your cam goes in.

More of a factor than anything else on an automatic; sorry.
I got better gas mileage than stock when I went to a TR 224 cam with my tuning.
On the set-up you see in my sig now with the MS3 cam I get over 30 on the highway but 12 to 13 city (fixing a Kooks bad quality fitment issue that's causing pcm to dump fuel at lights
) . . . I like to drive at 3K rpm's in town . . . I'm a spirited driver
