I had a 73 Duster with a totally stock 318 2 barrel, single exhaust, 999 auto with the lockup converter and 2.76 gears. I once got 21.5 doing 70 on pancake flat country. I'd probably get better driving from 55-60 mph.

Real close to 20mpg on the highway. Stock roller cammed 318 with a 600cfm Edelbrock carb, 904 auto and dual exhaust. 2.76 geared rear axle in a '76 Scamp. No longer have the car but I was convinced that I could get even more out of it
