Re: [FWDLK] Fuel economy

["Ron Waters" <Ronbo97@xxxxxxxx>]

After having the 318 rebuilt in my 58 Plymouth, I was getting 22mpg on
trips to Das Awscht Fescht in Macungie(near Allentown), PA, from
Connecticut.  BTW, this is the best car show of the year - 3 days- about
1000 cars each day.  Also, participant awards for every car driven thru the
gate (useful stuff, not junk).  No judging, so your work-in-progress is OK.
 They will be saluting 70 years of Plymouth this year.  How 'bout a good
turnout from everyone !  The show is July 31 thru Aug 2.  You MUST
pre-register.
