12 mpg sound right for 351 crate?
Hello everyone,
Last weekend I went on a wonderful cruse with the Kentucky Cobra club.
I took the opportunity to calculate my fuel economy because it was one of the longest drives that I have had my car on so far.
The drive was just at 100 miles and I calculated my fuel milage at almost 12mpg and I'm wondering if this sounds about right .
Here are the facts about my setup.
351 ford crate dual plane intake. Advertised at 360 hp at the fly wheel.
holley 650 cfm street avenger vacuum secondary carb.
tremec 3550 5 speed.
ford 8.8 rear with 3.73 gears
the driving was a mostly country roads with a little interstate thrown in.
we never exceeded the speed limit by more that a few miles per hour.
So is 12mpg about right or do I need to have someone do some tuning on my setup?
