| Economy? What's dat? :) If I drive the speed limit (yeah, right) on
the
| interstate I get 21MPG. In town it's 17MPG, if I'm taking it easy.
Real
| world figures for me are normally 19-20 highway, 15-16 city. I think
the
| local Texaco station is dedicating a new 92octane gas pump in my
honor...
|
| My ignition system has definitely improved my mileage but I think you
can see
| why I want to convert to fuel injection. Not only would FI squeeze a
couple
| more ponies outta the engine but I'm pretty sure it would improve my
mileage by
| a point or two as well.

| Several posts have mentioned that certain folks MPG figures were too
| low. Just what is an acceptable/expected range city and hwy?
| The Dustin Hoffman add says 27 MPG for a '66 fastback. That must
be
| dual carbs on the hwy... My stock '66 Sqbk probably should get tuned
| up, but it has been getting 18 MPG city. (I havn't really dared take it
| out for more than a couple trips on the hwy yet)
| Toby, kinda curious what the fire breathing motor of yours is like
on
| the "economy" tip...
