"my 56 Caribbean with dual 4 bbls gets about 14.5 to 15 in highway driving at about 55-65 mph (3.54 rear axle)"

Thanks. This is what I was looking for and corresponds to approximately what I was getting with the '55 Pat (with, of course one 4bbl and less cubic inches) BEFORE Governor Crist decided that we should ALL burn 10% ethanol. My last highway trip was on the FL Turnpike after the reformulation and I averaged 12.7 mpg. Around town usage dropped to a rather startling 8.2 mpg running the A/C.
