Actually I've been getting a little worse mileage than I was before the rebuild Gus. I'm using
the same carb (a W-1), the same distributor (on the ball), same plugs (AC R45), the same
gas station. I have been a lot more aggressive in my driving though and have put a lot of
miles on the interstate, toll ways and freeway and have been pushing it to keep up with
the 55mph limits.
I was running between 12 and 13 mpg before and now over the past 2k or 16-18 fill ups
I'm averaging between 11 and 12. So it seems that it's dropped off by about a mile per
gallon. However, no cost for oil!
It may just be that she's still a little tight although I don't notice that when she starts hot
or cold, it could be because she is .020" over bore, it could be the way I've been driving
her and it could be a combination of all of these.
