What kinda mpg can I expect to get once my carb is all tuned up properly? I'm HOPING to get 10mpg...is that even possible?
ohh yeah, I've got a 28" tire.

You can MAYBE get 10-12 without your foot in it. But your gears are really hurting you on milage with those small tires.

Some 3.42's or 3.73's would really help.

If you stay off the highway, dont put your foot in it, and dont do lots of stop and go, then 10mpg is possable. Doing any of the 3 above things almost a sure way of dipping below 10mpg.
