just figured id add to this some as stated before these ol motors get some poor milage and i think the old log intake on these motors is the major killer i do believe.
my current 73 4 door maverick has a 250 inline in it and c4 auto 2.79 gears
stock it averaged 15-17mpg
I put some tall tires and got 10 mpg :0
added a header,tuneup,msd ignition,wideband tuned carter yf carb and a 2" free flowing exhaust,electric fan,and a electric fuel pump ,and a early timing chain
I now average 22.5 city and 26.5 freeway on 87 octane E10
(just changing the tires to a shorter set took me from 10 to 17mpg) LOL
