Mine gets about 7 MPG with a TH400 and a 350 engine, 4.1 gear ratio and a rochester quadrajet.

When I read the numbers in this topic, I get the feeling that mine needs a tune up.

We driver about 50/50 highway and city. On the highway doing about 55 MPH and in the city we are allowed to drive 30 MPH here in the Netherlands.

It runs on LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) wich costs € 0,57 per liter here in the Netherlands compared to € 1,54 per liter for regular gas.

any ideas on how to improve my mileage?
