That reminds me of my Max Wedge 63 Dodge.... 426cid 2-4s on a cross ram manifold/ 4 speed/ 4.10 gears. Car was a stripper 2 door sedan with aluminum bumpers, dog feeding dish stamped aluminum hub caps, bench seat with picnic tablecloth vinyl and 2 batteries in the trunk. I ran out of gas 3 times before I started to believe the gas gauge.. 3 mpg tops. On the strip, the gas gauge went down as fast as the speedometer went up. It only ran decently on Sunoco 260, which was over 100 octane. Fortunately, gas was .32 a gallon in those days.Gen 2 coyote for me as well. Was averaging 28 mpg @ 70 mph for 200 kilometers with 3.73 gears. My 71 Plymouth Roadrunner with a 375 hp 440cid / 727 trans / 3.91 gears at 70 mph would get 6 mpg @ 70 mph.
My Mustang is about as fast and gets 18 mpg when I drive like an ass. But, I have gotten nearly 30 mpg when I drive real nice and easy.
