Re: [Amc-list] Scrambler clone on ebay (4.0L in Ramblers)

I am almost embarrassed to say I record every single fillup on
all my cars (the Classic back to 1994).

Here's summaries of what my Hornet has done for mileage since
I've been driving it.

 	miles	gallons		MPG

2005	11239.5	600.5		18.7  (July - 31 Dec)
2006	17757.5	956.6		18.6
2007	5126.9	270.1		19.0  (1 Jan to date)

Stock 258ci six, Weber 32/36 on an '81 water-cooled manifold,
2.5" "turbo" exhaust, Duraspark II, non-lockup A904 trans,
2.73 axle, 205/70-14's at 32 psi. Speedo error is less than 1%.

2007 mileage is up because I'm now running an absurd about of
spark advance and 88 octane (mid-grade) fuel. That seems to do
better than 87 crap gas and less spark. Haven't calculated the
cost difference though.

These are annual, end-to-end combined numbers, probably 70%
highway I'd guess.

Not bad for a 3200 lb car from 1970.
