11 MPG on a 302? I used to get 12mpg on a 429 cu in. in a '69 Thunderbird.[/QUOTE]

And my rear tires would last, like a week!

I got 11 on a 460 Tow Truck pulling light. It did go down to 7 pulling heavy. (The truck weighs 8,400 empty)

My 65 Dodge A-100 got 25 mpg and would run 155 on the flat out. 318 3 speed, 2:73 rear w TALL tires, My 66 A-100 got 11 mpg and did 0-60 RFN!!
top speed, about 95. BUT the front tires left the ground at 20 MPH and set back down about 55. It got more mileage out of tires than it did driveshafts and wheel studs, or transmission mounts or cases.
