Sounds like a nice goal but your aero and frontal area are substantially worse. You might be able to out-mpg the Camaro in stop-and-go traffic but out on the highway I doubt it. Of course you can do some aero modding, subtle things like a behind-the-grille partial block, airdam, and whatnot that won't radically alter the appearance.

My '59 Bel Air with 283/'glide gets about 21 but that is at 55 mpg cruise, but more town driving than is usual for me (cruising).
