Since it's a road-tripper and cruiser, I would NEVER think of installing a 3.36-3.55 gear in it again. Just saying....with regular gas at $5.49 a gallon where I am, I'll take the extra 6 or 7 mpg's and 15 mph all day long.

It's a turd LOL! Granted it weighs 4500 lbs but if i were to guess 0-60 about 10 seconds. Mashing the go pedal at speed and it downshifts it basically just makes a lot of noise lol. Not worried too much about mileage. It's not a daily. I've never tried calculating the mileage but I know it isnt great.
My '67 4 spd GTO had a 3.08 when I bought it. Eventually I put a 3.55 in it. Great gear! I'm currently running a 5 spd Tremec TKO-600 and 3.73 12 bolt. With this setup just cruising the GTO gets around 15 mpg. The engine is mildly built making about 475 hp.
