3g hemi gas mileage

I've run a few tanks through my car now with a fairly stable tune (I'm not changing values all over the fuel map like previously, lol), and it's been hovering pretty consistent around 15-16 mpg on my 67 Dart with a fair share of full throttle stabs since it's just too fun to not. It weighs a little over 3200 without me last time I had it weighed. I've since swapped over to fuel injection complete with a new fuel tank and added a fiberglass hood, but I don't think it would be enough weight to make a difference mpg-wise. I've got a standard 833 (no O/D) and 3.55 rear gears and drive 20 miles to work on a 55 mph highway doing just under 3k rpm. 70 puts me over 3k, maybe close to 3500. I'd like to see closer to 20 mpg, but then I also realize I doubled the power my car used to have and have the same if not better gas mileage, lol. O/D or different rear gears would probably bump me up a few mpg, but I'd rather keep the fun factor since I don't commute in it daily.

An overdrive tranny would not remove any fun, because the first 4 gears would be about the same. But when you shifted into OD you would be running around 2K on the highway instead of 3k. That's called having your cake and eating it too!:cheers:
