Re: Is 12 mpg attainable

I was at 12 mpg on the highway with a warmed-up 350 (headers, cam, AL intake, Qjet) in a K30 with 4.56 gears/305 tires and SM465, and that was with a good load too. You should have no problem.

As part of your tune-up set the carb's idle mixture screws with a vacuum gauge @ the highest attainable reading.
