The '69 will never go!!! According to the overhead console it does quite well by me. The 4.6 got 13 around town.....once in awhile it would break 14. On the highway I did get 15.7 out of it one time. Driving around town last night it never dropped below 14. Coming home on the highway it hit 16. I got to 16.4 on the gravel (only going 35, I don't want to chip it up too bad....). We'll see what happens when I calculate it by hand. I think the thing that helps it out alot is the 3.55 gears. My dad's and brother's both have 3.92's and can't get the mileage that I have (so far anyway). I'm sure if we raced there would be a difference, but it still feels PLENTY strong.....
