- That's good mileage, for sure, but not impossible for a trip. I actually recorded 38 mpg once when my car had the Solexes on it. It was a freeway drive of 240 miles and it took 6.3 gallons. I filled

- Premium gas gets better mileage also. When I purchased my New '60 Chevy Impala I used to go to my Father's farm 20 miles north of Wisconsin Dells. The Dells were 200 miles from Chicago. I would fill

- Agreed. I've replaced the pinion gear recently, but the following 4-6 tanks of gas were 'normal' (27-28mpg). Recent tweaks kept going up since then - 31, 30, 27(oops!), 34.4.. The road trip (to Mom's
