Yeah not in the hobby for gas mileage either, but the reality is costs are costs. Gas cost maybe a factor in how many events i do this year.


I have a 440 motor with a 3.90 stroke crank and 4.350 bore, 464 C.I., Eddy RPM heads and stock type vacume six pak carbs jetted for best WOT performance, 10.5 to 1 compression ratio, Oregon non ethanol 91 octane pump swill. The car is a 3450 lb Duster with me in it and a full tank of pump gas, 4.10 gears and 315x60x15 M/T ET Street Radials tires, 727 with both a 10 inch and 8 inch converter. Best (SWAG)guessimate(speedo is off )is maybe 12 to 14 MPG driving it at road speeds doing the 55 MPH speed limit for any distances Local driving with a occasional blast to clean the plugs results in a lot less MPG The right foot controls the fuel milegages and the exposure to tickets Car runs in the high tens in the 1/4 mile with that motor I have a dual wide ban O2 system on the car and I ended up jetting the center carb. to have a AFR of 14.8 or higher, depending on throttle position, at 2100 RPM cruise
