Almost 40 mpg in my 1966 Chevelle !!!



Today I did a mileage run in my 66 Chevelle and demolished my pre-project goal of 35 mpg.
I filled my tank at a gas station near my shop and drove to the marina where we keep our boat. I make this trip a lot from home.
My GPS speedo said I drive 74.54 miles round trip back to the same gas station. This is compared to a Google map that shows 37 miles each way so pretty darn close.
I refilled to the point of spillage when I got back and it took 1.891 gallons.
That’s 39.94 mpg!
Granted the drive was probably 90% highway at speeds between 65-70, but I’ll take it.
