Sounds like he fueled up at two different pumps. The first one overfilled and the second one shut off early. The only way to accurately check mileage is filling up multiple times and averaging the amount. The highest I got with my 302 is 16 to17 mpg on a trip to Disney World from <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com[img] /><st1:City w:st=[/img]Birmingham</st1:City> <st1:State w:st="on">Alabama.</st1:State></ST1

I feel lucky if I get 8-10 MPG around town, of course it is a 79 and has a 400 and I really enjoy seening the kids in honda's asking each other "WHAT THE &%*$ was that" when the Edlebrock open's the other two barrels.

that cant be possible with your combo. im not bashing ya but that isnt right. you claim to get 19+ mpg out of f250 with d60's and a 400.
My big truck only gets about 5-7 mpg depending on how hard I drive her.
