got about 15mpg on back roads - 50-60mph yesterday, 75 miles, cost me $20. 
When I first bought the car, the secondary float bowl on the holley was adjusted so there was no fuel in there - basically the secondaries were turned "off". I got 19 on the interstate when I drove her home that day.
Im thinking of "un-tuning" the carb so to speak to get 19 mpg again on the interstate - of course at the expense of power and speed.
In town, probably 10-13 mpg.
