Ron, 
 
At what speed do you get 28 MPG? 
 
Just as a reference point, the last time I checked the mileage, I got  26 
MPG with;
    *   302 CID Ford crate motor with 10/1 Compression 
    *   Holley 600 CFM Carburetor with  #65 Jets and no special economy  
tuning  
    *   Vacuum Advance  
    *   5 Speed with .6 Overdrive and 2.88 Rear Gears 
    *   Loaded with two adults and as much luggage as the car will hold 
    *   Mostly interstate highway  
    *   70/75 MPH with Cruise control  
    *   Top up
I'm sure I could improve the mileage with a smaller carburetor.
 
John Logan
