Default Re: My Mileage

I recently drove my Victoria from Long Island to Newry, Maine and back. My Victoria does not have overdrive, and it has an OEM 3.78:1 differential. The head has a 5.5:1 compression ratio, and the carburetor is a stock Zenith. My average gas mileage during this 976 mile trip was 17 GPM. About half of the miles driven were on interstate highways cruising at 50 to 55 MPH. Highest speed was 63 MPH. Tire pressure was 30 PSIG. Gasoline was 87 Octane. Motor oil is Mobil 1.
