I have some small experiences with Packard gas mileage. My 1950 Deluxe Touring Sedan with Ultramatic get about 10 mpg in freeway driving. I have not tried to rebuild or adjust the carburetor.
As a teenager in the 50s I went to a high school prom in a late 50s Packard. It was an elegant ride but the owner was a bit ashamed at its 7 mpg. This is real world and not tuned for gas mileage.
