Re: I know a lot of you won't like this, but I might as well confess...
My '72 Ventura with a 250 six and a Glide and 3.08s got 21 mpg bone stock. With a 200 overdrive and some tuneup I bet it had potential for 25-27 mpg. Hence my concept of the Commuter Rod.
These days, Chad and I are both driving B-bodies with 283s and Powerglides. We think his has 3.31s and mine has 3.08s. They both get 14 (which, to me, is "good mileage"). The Crew Cab also has a 283 and a Glide and I'm shooting for 25 mpg with it.
