318 Four Barrel Intake

I have found the 2bbl has always given the best mileage and it removes any temptation to open it up. You can still open it up, but when you don't get the pleasure out of hearing those back barrels open up, you just say to yourself "whats the use?" and then you just quit doing it. I have gotten 21.5mpg with a '74 Newport 400/707/2bbl, 21.5 with '75 Duster 318/4spd/4bbl;23.5 same car as a 2bbl, 22.5 with '81 Ram 318 2bbl/A833 o.d., 14.5 with '81 Ram 360/4spd/4bbl/4wd;16.0 with same truck as a 2bbl and back in the day could get 16.2 from a '68 GTS 340 4bbl/4spd/3.55, 15.8 out of a '71 Charger R/T 440 4bbl/727/3.55 using the "keep your foot out of it" method. Could easily get 8mpg out of either of those last 2 as well by not using "the method". With gas looking like it soon again reach $3/gallon I will do whatever it takes to save a few drops.
