Interesting...

I have a 557 with likely similar horsepower and a Holley 950 DP in a Zephyr station wagon. On a weekend where I run mostly highway miles, say up to 1,000 miles in three or four days, I get 12-13mpg.

Have you run it while checking with an 02 sensor/AF meter? Sounds as if it might be sucking some unnecessary dead dinosaurs.

It's possible you could do better, especially on the highway.
