Never had a 440 that averaged much better than 6 mpg.. I know, I know, someone on here gets 22 mpg with there 440.. Yeah right...
If you haven't driven a car that gets 6 mpg recently, the fuel gauge moves about like a tach needle does... Really quickly....
6 mpg??? That's what a 10,000 pound 440-powered RV would average. I think some can even get closer to 8 mpg. Even my Satellite with a 440/727/3.91 gears with an 850 Holley double pumper averages 8 mpg.
6 or 8 mpg, they both suck.....
When I was in High School (circa 73) my GF lived across town.. I would take my fathers car to pick her up in and then transition to my car (in my pic) to be able to afford to even go out that night... All I ever remember is being low on gas in that pig..... and it was 36 cents a gallon...
I now have the red 67 ( less two carbs than the A12 car) and I am looking for gas at 100 miles on a tank...
Red car has original block 040 over, original 915 heads, original HP exhausts, original carb and manifold, and a stock 375 HP cam.. Compression was lowered ( using forged pistons) to appx 9.2-1
