Hey folks,
I've got my '66 Fairlane with its mostly original 200 running about as good as I can get it and over the last 1200+ miles I'm getting 26.8 MPG combined city / hiway. That seems pretty good to me. Is there much room for improvement over that figure? I could probably get a little better if I drove like grandma, but I don't and won't. In fact I drive like a goon sometimes. The Fairlane has a '78 250 top end, Carter RBS carb, stainless header with 2" pipes and a steel packed Porter muffler, and HEI distributer.
Thanks as always,
CC
