I have 75 mustang with a 302 v-8. If the rear end gears are 2.79 you can expect to get 14 mpg in town and 20 mpg highway. This bepends on your driving habits. I had changed the gears in mine to 3.50. My mpg around town went up but high way went down and at highway speeds the engine runs faster.If the car will see in town use more it is worth the gear change. Hope this helps,v-8 dont get great gas mileage.
