My 68 Charger runs about 22mpg. 383ci, 727 on the column, 4 barrel vacuum secondary carburettor.

Thank You Allen!  :icon_smile_big:

 I was curious last year with my previous build that ran 12.47 in the quarter.  I drove a steady 70 mph (using my GPS...speedo is inaccurate of course), auto with 3:23 gears, and returned 13.3 mpg.  I thought that was pretty good.  Upgraded to a 493 stroker a while back, still tuning so don't know.  It chugs fuel like it's going out of style at the dragstrip, but what a ride!!!!   :2thumbs:

 I have a 73 Dodge truck and have to fill it up every 90 miles...No BS

I have a 383 4bbl with a 5 speed and 3.55 gears.

I get 17 on the highway without my trailier and 14 with.
In town I probably get about 10-12 launching from signal lights.

I plan on gallons to the mile so that way I am not surprised.... :smilielol:

doing a little bit better with the gear change (the other ones were starting to grind), about 14-16 with a 383. still needs some carb work/carb change though.

Well, when I got the car, it had been changed from a 318 car to a 440, still has a 2.76 rear end.  So, I got 22 MPG on the highway and about 8 to 10 MPG around town.

I have not driven it since I built a new 440 for it, but I am guessing it will be a bit less than before, maybe 18 highway and 5 in the city (I tend to rev it up and goose it at every light, what can I say, I love the way it sounds and drives!).

     I'm not sure.

     I don't even have a carburetor. Just a monkey with a bucket. He sits on top of the engine and dumps gasoline into it.  :rotz:

Yea I use to run a Holley myself.

472 R/T SE

I can't even remember for sure with my purple car.  I know if I keep it at 55-60mph to run with my friends it gets worse mileage than doing 65-70mph w/ 3:55 & GV.  It seems to struggle @ 55-60mph, much smoother up in the power band, duh.

I'm not sure what gears are in the 340 'cuda but @ 70mph it's 13-15 smiles per gallon.

My 71 Superbee is way to much fun to drive to worry about gas mileage. 
:cheers:

Mine too, Smile per mile is more important.  But i figured i get 9-12 depending on how i drive.  The big rear tires and stock highway gears probably help a bit too.  I have never owned a econo box though, so i would probably faint if i ever got anything over 12 mpg
