Re: whats the LS swap mpg gains?

When I did my swap, my 350 was real tired. So I felt it was worth it anyway. I would have been about $15-1800 Into a rebuild anyway and I wouldn't get 12-14 mpg. So I spent about the same amount ( ok about 2250) to put the 4.8 in mine. I get about 15 in city and probably around or just shy of 20 strictly highway. I have around 300hp which my old 350 might have had 150 and got 8mpg on a good day.it was and is worth it to me hands down.
