never really checked. i either spend time in the city at around 30 or in the summer going to the beach or camping. for a while i was driving around 45 min each way to work down the highway. with the 4 speed in it was costing me a tank every day and a half, after the tranny change was a tank every 3.5 days min. could have gone further but i was working 12 hour nights and my guage is a little off.lol

going from the farmer 4 to aod was really nice. the farmer 4 was almost like an automatic anyways, by the time i started and made it through the light i was in fourth already. glad for overdrive. i save about $40 a day in gas.

My 302 2v C4 worn out combo gets between 14-16mpg depending on me.
I drive it to work about 70 miles per day every 3 days I put between 13-15 gallons in her. My fuel gauge is unreliable so when I hit 220-230 miles I fill her up *miles are calculated on GPS that is always in use, speedo is useless too.
not much of a story but after reading the thread I am looking for a AOD to bolt up to my 40 year old in need of rebuild 302.
