15.4mpg

Some more tweaking on the map netted me another 0.5mpg. That's an additional 3%. I may be able to gain a bit more by tweaking the cold start stuff, I think I'm richer than I need to be under warmup. The priming pulse is also too long and is flooding the engine, so that's wasted gas as well.

In August the Street Rods are coming to town. Hopefully I can score a 3.42 or 3.08 ring and pinion for my rear end. That'll drop my cruising revs a bit and fix the speedometer.

I also need bigger fans. I've seen the coolant temp as high at 230 degrees on a 92 degree day sitting still in traffic.
