I know dominators and MPG don't go hand in hand, it's more like GPM.
I know there's a few people on here running dominators on the street, what sort of milage are you getting? And what's your combo?

I'm running a 505" with E-Brock heads, and just trying to get an idea of what I'm getting myself into, ie, how much do I need to borrow from the bank to put gas in it??

My 440 with M1 and Dominator gets about 4 to 5 mpg.I have 12.5 pistons and .588 cam with 4 speed.Probally wouldnt get much better with a smaller carb.Been running it on the street for 4 years.Rocky

I run my dominator on the street and dont care about milage.
I dont think a dominator gets worse milage than say a 850- or 950 on the street because your not in the high rpms.

it depends on what gears you are running and how you have the car set up. go fast = bad mpg.
also they make dominator with progressive linkage, or at least they used to, so at part throttle you only run on the front 2 barrels.
my buddy had a 528 road runner with progressive linkage 1100 cfm dominator and a keisler 5 speed with 3.55 gears that got 16 mpg on the freeway.

Power valve in the primary is the key. My 1050 doesn't use any more fuel driving aroung than the 950 it replaced. Lots of issues with the Dominator on the street before I installed the power valve.

It has PVs.
I plan to take it to the track on Sunday, and it's looking like it might take a whole tank to run the 90 miles (including some runs).
