My old '71 Hemi Charger R/T w/3:55 gears used to get around 12 MPG in the city, & about 15 on the highway. Car was all stock except for the heads being redone back in the later 70's - a place in Detroit called "Corky's" did them. I was the second owner of the car & bought it in 1980. Lost it in a fire in Aug, 1984. RIP old friend. And yes, oddly enough I did regularly check the fuel mileage just out of curiosity.

In 09 I drove my 69 Sat from Houston to Detroit and back for Woodward. It has a 528 Hemi/TF/3.54 Dana. Then, it had the MP crossram, twin Holley 770's and a 266@50/650 solid cam. Running 65 all the way up and back with the A/C on, it got between 8-11 mpg. With a Dynamic 3600 stall converter, I always wondered how much a tighter converter would have helped.
