If I want to get good gas mileage and I can keep my foot out of it, I will get just as good to better than stock mpg. 26.5mpg was my best stock, and my best with mods has been 27.5mpg, but usually get 24-26. If you get a stock car tuned on a dyno you would get better milage. And I just do not keep track of city mpg, because that would just take the fun out of driving the car where I mostly drive it.

I get 15-16 around town usually. That's not driving aggressive, just tapping it a little bit from time to time. Only time I've really had it on the highway any time for an extended period of time so far was the 90miles driving home from the track. Trapped 118 first time to the track with it and got home with 32mpg 
Not too bad.
6 speed, obviously. This was also with stock gearing. I expect the numbers to get a bit closer to each other with the 3.73s, but it shouldn't be too different.

I get about 17mpg city and 23mpg highway with conservative driving and a mild cam in a 402, 6-speed, 3800lb car. The cam is: 226/.585/112. I'm not sure why the highway mileage isn't better even with the A/C on. But, it still needs to have the tune refined.
