Got a 408 coming together so no mileage figures to report (yet). Here's a BTT

I get around 9-10mpg around town on my 408. This is in a 71 challenger with 3.55 and a 26" tire. However I have a heavy foot for some reason when i drive the car......

416
ported E-brock head
9.7:1
Comp 274-S solid cam
BG Silver Claw 750 advertised double pumper
M1 single plane intake
TTI stepped headers
3.23 gears
24.5" diameter tires (small)
cruise rpm 3400 @ 75 mph

11.64 mpg last weekend. 147 miles.

I have a HEAVY foot. Like I spun it up to 4200rpm uphill on the Simi Valley freeway grade. Did hit some slow 45 mph freeway traffic for about 15 miles. Also did 20 miles in West L.A. though Hollywood city traffic. At one point road construction idled the car for about 15min to travel HALF mile! Car got hot, but not over heated.

If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.
