5mpg...? You should get way better mileage...even with a 429. My buddy got around 15 on the highway with a 460, you should be able to do the same.
FWIW, I got around 20 with the 300 I had back in the day. Of course it was the OD 4 speed manual so an auto would be different. I have an advertisement from 1981 that advertises the 300 getting 21/27mpg if I remember right, too.
