Smile MPG or smile per mile

Mike Hodge has a B&B with a KC 408 530 hp Quick Fuel carb 3.55 gears. He get 13 -14 mpg. He started at 6.7 mpg and Coach tuned the carb to get the 13 plus mpg. Motor had been dyno'ed but we found out they don't tune the carb for cruising etc. Only wide open throttle.

I have a 302 stroked to 354, 402 rwhp, fuel injected 3.55 gears. I get 20 -22 mpg
