Of course you know what I like better!

My turbo car gets 19 on the HWY and 15 in the city just cruising, the Cobra gets 20+ on the HWY mid teens in the city, and the Vert gets high teens on the HWY and mid teens in the city.
Injection Rules for street cars!

10 to 12 mpg

i got better numbers with the pms and stock computer. with the bigstuff 3 i can lean it out on the hwy but as sonn as i get to city roads i have to change the tune. im sure if a really played with it id get 15mpg like i did before i switched. i run total stand alone all the time.

ps three speed trans and 3.73 gears. 3200 rpm at 65

WHAAAAAAAAAAAT???

I get a solid 18 with a smaller motor, smaller cam and 6 gears with 3.73 gears, spinning 1700 @ 70.

Not sure how you would be getting near that good of mileage.... Sorry to be frank.

no biggie Tom....

I filled up at Jetz in Muskego by my house. Ran the couple trips to work I did take the car. On one of the trip's to the northside, I filled up. It's 23 miles from my house to work. So figure 46 mile round trip without any side trips to food or to mill rd and racing during some of that time. That was 4 times up there and back home. So figure 184 miles total. Took ~9.5 gallons to fill the car back up. That comes out to be about 19.3 if my math is on. so i'm off by 1 :) my bad

yeah, i'm just guesstimating because of the speedo/odometer not working. But that seems pretty much on. And that's without counting the trips for food, the couple mile trips with coworkers, etc... Not that it'd make a HUGE difference. But da tune was right on yes :)

17-20 in the GN with the 50lbs injectors, 15 with the 83's and loosy loose convertor........

The best I've ever seen with the GS is 14, all interstate driving, 3.31's, TH400 and a Q-Jet......

Mandy gets 20-22 with the f-hawk, best I've seen is 29 on the trip to Kentucky......

Best I've ever seen in the valiant was 26mpg on a pure hwy run from Milwaukee, up 41 to Green Bay, down to Milw via 43, averaging only 65mph. This was after I had just swapped the engine to a basic 360 with a moderate (218 dur @ .050) cam, small vacuum 600 Holley single float carb, well tuned electronic ignition, headers, and with the 833 O/D tranny (0.73:1 ratio) combined with the stock 2.94 rear gears (thus the final drive ratio was 2.14:1)...this is still my favorite itteration of the valiant, even though it only went 14.2's in that state...it's best tank with the bone stock, but very tired 318 was only 24mpg.

With the current 360, 750 DP carb, Non-OD 833 4 speed, 3.90 gears, non vacuum advance distributer I see ~ 14-15mpg if I take it easy in semi-mixed driving.
