I have a Backdraft with a Ford crate 302, 340 HP + 5 speed. Onthe highway I get 25 mpg, all around, with not too much foot into it about 21 mpg.

The Cobra is my economy car!

Who buys this car for Fuel mileage?

Seriously I was exited when I got 12 on the freeway in 5th at 70 mph. Around town about 5 or 6 but the smile factor is worth much more than the mileage

Yes, my 5th is .62 overdrive, so since any longer distance driving in So. Calif involves lots of freeway travel, I guess 21.7 mpg is about right.

I feel really fortunate when I get 8 to 10 mpg.
Usually hovers around 6.
429 with an automatic. Mostly around town or short stretch's on the freeway.
Seems like I can watch the gas guage move to the left very quickly.
Guess I enjoy the car to much to be worried about the mileage.
Always a fun ride.
