My personal record in my 77 B (no name) was a little more than five gallons over 200 miles at a consistent 70 mph--an astounding ~40 mpg. And the car (no name) doesn't even have overdrive. Meanwhile,

Mark Jurras asked: The only real advantage of overdrive (to the car - it might offer some additional advantage to your ears) is that it reduces engine wear. Fuel comsumption is not the issue. Consump

Every engine has a rpm range where it is most efficient. I don't know what that range is on a B engine, and I don't know the rpm that 45mph would correspond to. Especially if your test track involves

The most important variable would be air resistance. You would use less gas per mile at the lower car speed, because the energy needed to overcome air resistance would be substantially less. Ray Gibb

Not to cast a disparaging shadow on this discussion, but if you're concerned about aerodynamics, or gas mileage, go buy a Miata. If you want a car with character, one that delivers the true visceral

At high altitudes your mileage may drop because of the decrease in wind resistance in the lower density air, but what is the effect of the lower concentration of oxygen (say in g/l or in g/cubic ft)
