Took a day trip with some other guys once, about 100 miles each way up into the mountains. On the way we ran mostly in the mid '80s, almost all of us having FFRs with small blocks and 5-speeds. One of the guys had a beautiful and very 'correct' ERA with a big block and Top Loader. We stopped for gas on the way back and he asked us to slow down, he was cranking 3,500 rpm at those speeds and getting 9mpg.
