Re: How many MPG with your A?
Mine will do more MPG than most of yours because we use bigger gallons!

Last I checked some time ago on a trip to Kansas City with my '30 tudor I got 23 mpg. I run a ryan overdrive, so it is probably skewed a little.. but as Mitch said with proper tune ( carb & timing) and plugs that are burning well don't worry about it. Other things more important in life than a few more MPG's in my book! Larry |

Re: How many MPG with your A?
I don't keep track, I don't really care, all I know is I'm driving a Model A and I'm enjoying myself...worth every penny.

Re: How many MPG with your A?
I heard that Christopher Columbus got the best mileage in history... over three thousand miles per galleon.

The best mileage this past year was with my sedan at 19.2 and that was when I took a road trip to Hershey that was mostly non stop secondary roads "No Highway" if I was to run on a highway most likely would be in the low 20s but feel safer on secondary roads. Really do not care much about the mileage but track it because if I find the fuel mileage to drop off I will look for vacuum, carburetor or timing issues so tracking fuel mileage can be a pretty good tool to identify a problem before it gets to be a major issue.

Re: How many MPG with your A?
Why worry with the numbers, if all is well, upper teens is good. Just enjoy the drive, 10 miles or 1000 miles. Jim Langley...
