I get around 20 MPG plus or minus that is imperial gallons so US gallons I suppose around 17 MPG . My ccpu likes to cruise at 45 MPH and I get up to high gear when I can . I do have a 28 phaeton with the AF 3" bore engine 28 BHP at 2600 RPM .the rear axle is 4.55 to 1 and it gets the same gas mileage but not the performance . 10 MPG seems too high to me if you can borrow another carb from someone who gets better mileage give that a try something is wrong somewhere . IMHO .
