I have been lookig a mpg a lot. The number for my Hemi is ass follows.
Numbers are measured from top filled tank, driven and then top filled again.
The absolute best is 21mpg at a steady speed of 66mph, measured over a 90 
miles distance.
No aceeleration or brakings.
The average season is 14 mpg.
And city driving is 10 mpg.
However, pushing the trottle will create any number.
Using carb the steady state was 15 mpg
and average went down to 12 mpg
No city numbers.

The 351C over 1800 miles from Italy to Sweden was 18 mpg using an Autolite 
carb.
Average season was 14 mpg.
The 302 Boss with 4 IDA 48 steady state 66mph was 25 mpg at best!
