Default Re: problem to start

That works out to about 13 miles per gallon, not spectacular. My Mercury with a mostly stock 292 and 500 cfm 4 barrel gets in the upper teens/low 20s on the highway in overdrive. I think you could improve your fuel consumption with the proper carburetor. This somewhat depends on the type of driving you do. City driving consumes more fuel.
