Re: 400 rwhp and 20+ mpg?

I have a 72 C20 with 350 and TH350 trans......I'm running an edeljunk carb.....I'm getting 10-11 mpg 95% city driving only with short driving distances.

I was a bit disappointed at first, but then I remember my 99 tahoe got about 12-16, and my 2010 GMC truck got 13-17 so it's really not bad for a 42 year old non-fuel injected brick rolling down the road...

I'm calling BS on anyone that is claiming they are getting more than 15 or 16 MPG with a stock configuration 67-72 truck with city driving....im not saying it's impossible but very hard to achieve.
