What about fuel usage? Given two identically set up motors (to the extent they can be with different breathing apparati), does one typically provide greater economy that the other?

I checked my mileage once on the hwy. I got 23mpg. Running 2500 rpms (80mph) from here to Middle Tn. I don't bother with in town mpgs .. my foot is always in it
In comparison .. I had a 67 FB Mustang I use to drive back and forth from here to Mid-Tn .. it was an auto and I usually ran close to 3k rpms (70mph) .. had a 289ci ... it avged 15-17 mpg.
