Wellp ... I got about 25+mpg at freeway speeds (70-75-ish) and about 30mpg at
backroads speeds (50-60-ish). My usual hotfootin' around home gets about
23-25mpg. All mileage is top-down. I shaved the head .090" to get some
compression back, premium gas, added modern air filters and electronic
ignition, and removed some thermal anti-pollution vacuum hoses, but
mechanically the rest is pretty standard. Not sure what it should be, but I'm
not interested in optimizing mileage. I found that proper wheel alignment
(front and rear) with 205 tires makes a real gas-mileage difference!
Runnin' pretty well, now, so I'm welding everything in place.
