Hi John,
I think the experts would tell you that it depends. Depends on how you drive (gentle or hard), how much city vs. highway miles, whether your car has a working overdrive, long or short warm-ups, etc. That said, right after purchased my it, I drove my Clipper from Seattle to So.Cal.- almost all highway miles. The car wasn't dialed in very well and I wasn't using the overdrive as well as I could have. We got mileage in the 12-13 range. Perhaps 15 at best, on one leg and I think that was a fluke or a math error. Haven't checked mileage since I fixed the gas gauge, but an overall 10 with a mix of conditions wouldn't keep me awake at night. Good Luck, Mark

10's about what I get with the 356 in my '40. To be honest, I drive it really hard. 70 - 80 on the highway and move with traffic in town. Conversely, my '39 320 made remarkable mileage, seemed in the 15 - 16 mpg range.

well I don't poke along,50-55 on the open road. I found a WW 2 "gas ration" sticker in the glove box "B" and from my MPG I bet the original owner used every bit of the coupon's!!
