I'm sure that choke not opening all the way is really killing the mileage. I rebuilt my Q-jet and put a manual choke on it, but the choke cable was binding up in the housing. I drove about 90 miles half choked and waisted 15 gallons. When it is working properly, I can get about 180-190 miles out of 15 gallons.
