I can get 14 to 16 MPG with a '37 120 conv. coupe. I don't do a lot of city driving. Mixed dirt and 2 lane highway. The carburetor is in poor condition and wasting fuel. I believe a carb overhaul will improve MPG to around 17+. 282 8 with an iron HC head. 4.09 axle 7.00 X 16 bias ply tires.

Last fill-up: 14.48 MPG under less than ideal conditions.
