Re: [Amc-list] gas mileage (Duane Hacking)

[Peter Marano <PMarano@xxxxxxxxx>]

My experience is similar, 1971 Javelin 304 auto 2.87:1 rear axle ratio.  
Stock in every respect except for GM spec G70R15 on Rebel Machine 
wheels.  We were driving a little slower in the mid seveties due to the 
National 55 mph speed limit and got 20 miles per gallon highway.  And 
with great performance.
