    Gas smileage

     



    Went for a little 114 smile cruise today. Filled up at my local station and filled back up when I got back, used 7.5 gallons, 15 smiles to the gallon! Ain't bad for a hot 383 sbc with dual quads and TH350 tranny! Oh yeah, 70-75 smiles an hour most of the way!

    Not too bad at all! My 40 used to do right around 15mpg's with a 377 stroker, TH400, and a 2.73 gear 9" running 75mph. Maybe someday it can measure MPG's again!
