I just got my truck on the road. It has a 235 bored 30 over with a mild cam (254 I think, don't recall off the top of my head), dual 1bbl Offenhauser manifold with 2 1bbl Model B rochesters, Fenton headers, T-5 with overdrive and 3.73 limited slip rear.

I'm getting 10.5 mpg with about 400 miles on the engine, with the A/C running full blast. I thought I'd do better than that. Do I have a problem with the Model B's? Or is this the best I can do? (If it is, the trip to Kansas City is going to cost a bundle.)
