[In The Ten Ring]

My 1972 stepside with 250 I6, 3 speed on column, 4.11 gears, and 1-barrel carb gets about 10 mpg. You are not alone.

I plan to switch the rear end to a 3.73 gearing but that's the only plan I really have. I'll keep my old gearing in storage just in case I ever need to switch it back.
