Chris,
I have a Holley 650 CFM double pumper which I consider to be a bit of
over-carburetion in my case....running a mild cam, ported, polished, TRW
pistons etc. When I traveled to Big Bear for TU, I got around 12 MPG.
Consequently, yours sounds about right to me. I should mention as well that
I KNOW my secondary is kicking in. If yours are not, there is somewhere
else you need to look to for a problem. Note that my rear end is about a
3.96 with the stock top-loader.....so I am reving about 4K at 70 MPH.
Regards,
Allan

My new Mk1a get 11 miles per gallon on the interstate at about 65-70 mph.
This seems low to me. It has a Carter AFB 650 carb that I have not figured
out how to open the secondaries. It also have a mild cam. What is
"normal".
Thanks,
Chris
