proprerly tuned and driven mildly you can conceivably get 10-14 mpg, but if the timing is slightly out or the carb isnt working correctly they can seriously damper those numbers.... my 76 F-150 with a 460 780cfm holley 4bbl can get 14 mpg when running at optimum levels, but it will also only get 5 mpg if i dont keep my foot outta the pedal, its my daily driver and with the way i drive i average about 8-10 mpg, but i dont take my time going anywhere, i love passin chevy's

I agree, just tuning my new carb and setting the timing on my 460 in my driveway (revving and idling for 20 minutes) I used a quarter tank. I can get 12-14 mpg with slow starts and by rolling to stops. If I'm in aggressive driving mode, I'm looking at 4-6 mpg. I drive it less than 100 miles a month, so I don't really care about mpgs -- I put $40 in every 5-6 weeks.
