I currently have a '69 96 driver with a '71 1700 enigne with the FoMOCo carb and a MSS exhaust and I average 26 MPG. I take mine on 200 mile trips a couple times a month.
Do all the maint. stuff, and try to trace the repair history of your car to determine if the balance shaft gear has been replaced. The average life of the original gear is 100K to 125K. If your car has or had A/C it should have had the steel gear installed with the A/C. It didn't always happen if the dealer was lazy. The gear is the major unexpected breakdown that gives you no advanced warning of failure.
