Default Re: Longest trip yet...MPG suck!

I have a 45B Deluxe Coupe and a 190A Victoria Coupe. Both have Model "B" engines with Model "A" Zenith carburetors, and no overdrive. Both have stock 3.78:1 differentials. The 45B has a 4.6:1 Compression Model "B" head, and the 190A has a 5.5:1 Model "A" type head.
The 45B Coupe gets 15 mpg and the 190A gets 18 mpg. I run both cars with the lowest cost 87 Octane with Ethanol gasoline I can find in Gulag New York.
