How much better mpg would my '78 Grand Prix get without a cat? If I removed the cat on my '78 Grand Prix, how much better gas mileage (and power) would I get? I understand that the early catalytic converters were big and clunky and robbed a lot of power. Right now I get about 21 mpg highway and 105 hp with a 3.8l 231cc V6. I live in Wyoming so smog tests are not a big concern.
