I know that I am drifting off topic so will not continue past this post but I suspect that I could get better mileage if...........
1. I was closer to sea level instead of 2,500 ft [carb runs richer due to less dense air]
2. My trans was a manual instead of auto [I love my auto]
3. I operated the engine at its most efficient speeds instead of trying to keep up with modern cars on the highway. [110kph + or 70mph +]
4. Did not drive into a fairly constant headwind every morning.
If I kept it down to about 50 to 55 mph [80 to 88kph] I would probably get better mileage but the big rigs would just use me as a speed bump.
