just wondering what kind of mileage u guys are getting with what kind of motor. with my driving i got about 13 with my beat 305

 

my bird is so fun to drive i don't even care.

 

the only time i did care was when i first got her just to see what driving like a grandma would yield. i could only get her up to like 11 or 12 in the city. but hwy im seeing 22-24 which i was really impressed with.....

 

I get 14-15mpg if Im drving hard and about 17-20mpg if im easy on it. I havent been doing very much thruway driving lately but I think I got 23mpg a few years back.

 

My rebuilt 305 w/edelbrock carb gets 21 mpg with all highway.

 

We already have a thread on this.
Anyway, With a carbureted 350, I got 26 highway. That was with 700R-4 and 3.08:1 gears, on 235/60R15s. That carb was not computer-controlled, either. Now I'm going LSx for even more. Hopefully 32 mpg with a 5.3L, or 30 mpg with a 6.0L

 

My 18 year old 305 RS with almost 200,000 miles gets 20 City and 25 Highway.

 

before i parked it 3 years ago i was getting 30 highway. 305 tbi 2.73 rears

 

17-19 mpg when I drive it normal

 

At 157,000 miles, my tired old soon to be departed from the engine bay 305 is getting about 20 city, 26 highway with only bolt on mods. When it get hot out the mileage drops off quite a bit.

 

I'm pulling about 26 highway with a 350/700r4. I know I can do better than that though. City is unknown.

Naturally, atilla the fun makes my numbers seem unimpressive haha. His rear is longer, but that's still pretty good for a carb'ed 350. What size carb is that, atilla? and did you tune it yourself?
