Re: Miles Per Gallon
There was an article in the Restorer magazine probably in the 70s that showed a Ford report on mpg back in 1931 I think. Anyway it matches what people above are saying with most in the upper teens as I remember. Some were higher and some real low (probably leaking carb) anyway if you get in the low 20s then you are doing things right, just don't lean out and burn the valves. Of course we drive differently now, the state wide speed limit in Virginia back in 28 was 35 MPH unless other wise posted plus our engines are bored out and things have been done to get a little more speed.
