Lots depends on rear gear ratio, how hard you drive it etc...
I've got a 3.08 rear, hurst shifter and M-20 tranny, and @ 60 mph the engine rpm's are at 2,300.
I estimate around 15-17 mpg highway.

These cars were built when gas was 75 cents a gallon.They were not built for mpg.I think the only real way to get any kind of mpg is to move up to a more modern drive train.Fuel injection and at least a 5spd.The problem is you can buy a lot of gas for the price of the up grade and I dont drive it enought to justify cost.I would rather keep it simple to maintain.I dont drink or smoke so the money I save more than pays for the gas.Heck I might even live long enough to die from obama care.
