Re: Gas Mileage eating up!

Your mileage will never be the same.  FI is a much better fuel management system
than carburation.  The best you can do is keep the air cleaners clean, keep the 
carbs tuned and keep the ignition system working at peak.

Changing the hose won't make a difference.

     I have a '73 Automatic that just convertered from Fuel Injection
to Webber 34pct dual carburetor a month ago. I notice the mileage is not
the same as Fuel Injection.
     I would say roughly on my dual carburetor gas mileage would be
like 16 MPG. At around 170 miles, I need to fill it up while on the fuel
injection roughly 240 miles cover the trip.
     I did not changed the fuel line from fuel injection to carburetor
fuel hose. Would it makes a different? If I changed the fuel line?
Yes, I did tuned  up the carburetor and the motor is rebuilted.

Please let me know before I start heading back to school pretty soon.
Thanks...
