Glutenfreecarbs:
Just curious if anybody is taking summer road trips and tracking their fuel consumption?

I got 19.6 MPG during a trip across the Ohio turnpike this past weekend in my 1970's land yacht, running about 74 MPH with the A/C blasting.

tayto:
I just did my first (full) fillup on my Squarebody. I will keep you posted. Last year got 16 mpg in the Rockies with about 1000#
lbs of camping gear doing 110-130 kph.

68rs/ss:
Best I ever got was 24mpg. With a 68 Camaro 10:1 355ci, 5spd. All highway at roughly 2000-2400rpm. Cliff's kit, advise and recipe. Best working carb ever.

Brian B.:
My stock '74 SD-455 TA auto w/3:08 got 14mpg driving 70mph on various interstates from the Woodward Dream Cruise back to Chicago years ago.  Around town it only gets 9mpg.

Cliff Ruggles:
9mpg around town?  Unlikely you'd make it thru a full tank without a few FULL throttle blasts!.......
