Re: > What is your MPG ?

I've calculated a lot of tanks. 350/700R/3.73 edelbrock 650.

11-12mpg "average" around town. I use OD probably 25% of the time, but I also hammer it a lot.

On the highway around 16mpg. If I slow up to 55-60 (which is really hard) I've squeezed out 17.5 It's way more fun cruising at 70-75 though...

My 65 mustang has a 289/C4/2.8 and stock 2 barrel and it gets about 15-16mpg no matter what I do (city/highway, etc).
