So if i had to guess what the camaro would do it would be 19-21 city and 26-29 highway
The Camaro should be lighter than the Impala, though...with higher overdrive gearing, too. So I would expect 3 mpg more than you originally guessed.

Don't you love those second gens...haha ...My dad's '79 Camaro, get's about like you said, 16/17 no matter how you drive - fun as Hell, but expensive.
