Latest tank was 11.7 MPG.
Just using tuning and EOC. I could work the gas so I run around a 17:1 air fuel ratio while picking up speed, giving the engine about 1/3 throttle that is the most you can open the primaries before the fuel dump secondaries open. Its setup to run nice and lean until the primaries open up.
There is room for more EOC here and there. I am not going to EOC when driving to work, just incase it doesn't want to restart.
If I can get 12mpg in a suburban with 3 speed trans, no torque converter lock up and 4.11 gears, I wonder what it could do in a Camaro that weights a ton less, had some considerations towards aerodynamics, has an over drive transmission with lock up and has a rear that is close to 3:1.
Whom ever told me that a edelbrock 650 and edelbrock air gap intake manifold was a bad idea for improving fuel economy has some crow they need to eat, after they take their foot out of their mouth.
