Our '65 daily driver has a 305 Throttle body injected motor with a TH350C lockup trans and a 3.08 rear gear, 28" tall rear tires.

Normal driving, it yields an average of 18.5-19.5 mpg.

20 mpg or even more is obtainable and very doable-just may take some tinkering and adjusting to get there. Not sure if you can get there with a carb, as I am more of a EFI person. But I bet someone can.
