Not sure there are any rules, but the 305 Chevy V8 an economical engine? Can't say I agree. Sure, they were installed in practically everything that Chevy put out from the 70's to the 90's. But the only car I can say they ever put them in that got decent gas mileage was the Trans Am firebird / Z-28 Camaro. Think most of that is due to the better aero on them combined with the overdrive. The Corvette didn't do horrible on gas, but it was a 350.
