    Be more specific. I have a 91 379 with a completely mechanical 3046b engine. Ive found that 65mph is a good top speed that keeps me around 6mpg. If I exceed 70, my mpg go to less than 5. I shortshift when empty or bobtail. I dont dragrace off lights. Im currently working on trying to get lighter and more aerodynamic.
