Truth be known, in my research I've found that both the LS1 and LT1 engines will get around 29-30 mpg on the highway if you have a manual and run in sixth gear. And keep your foot out of it. In town it's only about 17-18 mpg, but when I drive in town I don't go long distances, so that's OK.
And the cars are cheap. Formula Firebirds, Trans Ams, and Z28s in good shape with less than 75k miles are running from $6k - $9k right now. That's a heck of a lot of car for not a lot of money. I always was partial to the Firebird, solely for aesthetic reasons.
