what MPG do you average city/Highway?

[Topcat]

Wanted to hear how some have done on their Highway MPG. City is just too variable.   
What set up if you'd like to tell us as well that you have.

[brads70]

451" stroker hyd roller cam etc 3:55 gear out back... and auto OD 4L60 gets 17 MPG on the hwy

[blown motor]

Strong 340 (the only thing stock is the X heads) with 3.23 gears. Generally get 16-17 overall.

Awww e-body only?! And I was hoping to brag about my b-bodies mpg lol.

My dad would ask that question about my dodge 4x4. 

MPG is not a question in my book for a mopar. Just drive the darn thing and stop at every gas station while doing so. 
People like me love a good chat about muscle cars at gas stations.

Aww go ahead! It's a Mopar, it's all good!

I agree. I didn't buy this car for fuel mileage, but it's nice to know and let others know that you can have both performance and some economy! My old set up 440/727 got 10 MPG's . I almost doubled that with the new combo and 2X's the power too! Neil was a big help when I was building my engine. He has a sticky about a combo he built that gets slightly better fuel mileage too!

I have to consider fuel economy when we pay almost 9 bucks for a gallon here in Sweden. Hopefully going from 2.76 to 3.55 for my rear axle this summer is not gonna get the consumption up too much. I wanna drive a lot. Getting about 18 MPG now, 340/727, pretty good.

Big inch Hemi in an "A" body. Just a shade north of 800 HP on pump gas. 3800 converter, 4:10 rear gear, and 31 inch tall rear tires. I get a tick over 10 mpg while cruising at 55-60 mph. And I love the way it sounds doing it.....

I have a mild 440, 750 edelbrock carb and intake, 5 speed tremec, 3:55 dana. Bought the car last summer and drove it home from tennessee. I avereged 16.5 driving between 70 & 80 mph.
I just install a 6 pack. Wonder what that will do for mileage?

Hey Brad,

what would you get with your set up if you didn't have an OD

Hey Brad,

 Hard to say? I got 9-10 MPG's with my old 440/727 same 3:55 rear gear ratio?

[MEK-Dangerfield]

The ugly truth is I get 10-11 hiway with what I consider a mild build.

I remember seeing somewhere that in 1970, a 440 was rated at 13 MPG hiway, so I don't feel too bad. I just wish gas was 50 cents a gallon like back then.   

[drewcrane]

did a VP trip about 3500 miles, 440 auto 3:23,s got 12 mpg up hill ,down hill and anything else :2thumbs:paid as much as $6.50 a gallon in Monterrey , nothing compared to the U.K and the rest of Europe,they average  $8.50 a gallon and even more 

[DAYLEY/CHALLENGER]

Set up is 440 with a 750 edy.  And I do not do very much goosing either!

[aris_unlimited]

Best I've managed in my 74 satellite with a 318 is 27 mpg on the hwy. 

After I build the motor I am hoping that I might still see 20 on the hwy.
