I thought I would have to install an OD trans to get that kind of mileage. I will have to look into this.

Woohoo - 17.5 mpg!
I just replaced my tired old Holley carb w/ an Edelbrock Performer series, changed the plugs and swapped the old paper air filter for a K&N. MPG went from 9.5 to 17.5, including +100mph "testing" 
, I'm amazed and EXTREMELY pleased. Sure is nice not stopping for gas every 100 mi...next stop...Pismo Beach!!

Hey thats great! I getting about the same on my car. I am hopeful the new Edelbrock 1901 I just purchased will provide me with similar results. Going from 9 to 17 is like found money, plus now you can tell everyone you're an environmentalist.
