D^2,
OK, so I rounded up from 16.5. I have checked it on several
occassions and yes I have checked the speed/mileage with a newer car following
me. This has been one of the best 440s I have owned. Its not a high
mileage car so maybe that has something to do with it. I did replace the
original Holley with a Carter. I once owned a 76 New Yorker which also got
me in the 17 mpg range on the highway. A friend has a 77 T&C wagon
which has been converted from lean burn to a Mopar performance ignition and that
big girl gets 16 mpg. Worst 440 I had for mileage was my 75
Imperial. That thing got 10 mpg no matter if it was in the city or on the
highway.
Happy motoring.
