What kind of milage can I expect from a 72 Skylark?

I am interested in purchasing one, but I really am interested in knowing how many mpg I can expect. Does any one have a good estimate for this 350 V8?

12 to 14mpg
I have a 1971 455 and it gets about 8mpg

Really depends on the rear gear, type of driving, condition of the engine.

To put it in perspective... I had a 74 buick 455 in my 72 GS and would pull 14-16mpg city.... Was mildly built too, ran 11.88 in the quarter.

The 350 in the GS before felt about the same (it was only in there for 2 weeks so I never bothered to check...lol)
